Monday

Welcome to Jacob today!  It was a fabulous day in 2F.  We had Mrs. Maynard come in from the town library this morning. She read us some books and told us about some events happening in the library soon. She will come every other month. It's great to have her!

In math, we worked on word problems. Students learned how to line up 3 digit math problems with the ones places lined up, the tens place lined up and the hundreds lined up. Then we applied that to the word problems. Tomorrow we tackle regrouping!

We had computer lab today! We learned how to log into the computer and how to make Google Chrome our default browser. Also, we bookmarked Tumblebooks - a site we will use during Guided Reading time in the near future. (Also one of the reasons we have headphones)

In writing, we learned about what details are in our own writing. Students were able to talk together about their Weekend News before writing.  Oral rehearsal is so important when writing pieces.

We learned our new word wall words today and did an activity called: If You Know How to Spell....

This afternoon, students book shopped, did Scholastic News and Read to Themselves while reading groups were happening.  I ended with reading a version of Cinderella.  We will do more with these stories in the future.
