Thursday

It was so nice to see so many of you at Open House last night! Most of you signed up for a parent conference but if you didn't get a chance, please let me know.

In math, we learned how to write numbers in standard form, word form and expanded form. Expanded form is the one we are most proud of!  If the number has 3 hundreds, 2 tens and 4 ones, the standard form is 324; the word form is three hundred twenty four; and the expanded form is 300 + 20 + 4.

We did not go outside this morning for a movement break because it was raining. Instead, we had choice time inside.  Then, Mrs. Kleiner did a lesson for Second Step. After that, in word work, we worked on syllables with word wall words. Some friends shared during writing workshop.

After lunch and recess, we read aloud and did a reading lesson. We worked on 2 ways to read a book.  One way is by reading pictures and the other way is by reading words. I modeled this with Lily's Plastic Purse by Kevin Henkes and students practiced with their own stories.

At closing circle, we talked about what we were most proud of for today.  It was a great day!
