Welcome back! We had high energy today which surprised me based on earlier wake up times. We began our morning with Morning Meeting because everyone had LOTS to share! We also played a game Find Someone Who... depending on what we did over the vacation. We learned about people who ice skated, went sledding, and had parties at their houses.
In math, we began talking about multiplication in terms of equal groups. We are thinking of multiplication right now as repeated addition. In computer lab, we took a virtual tour of MLK's house. Then we compared it to our houses. During Writing Workshop, we wrote about one thing that happened to us over the holiday break. In word work, I introduced the 5 new words for the week: rain, say, today, way, and wait.
This afternoon, I read the first Jan Brett book called Gingerbread Friends. Students will be using this book for their Write about Reading job during the week. We also are finding as many words out of Happy New Year as we can for work jobs.
It was a busy day! Homework came home today. Please send back the December reading calendar as soon as possible, thanks!
