Tuesday

We have settled nicely into our routine today. In math, we looked at multiplication as "Groups of", repeated addition and a multiplication problem.  Students love this.  They feel very grown up! Tomorrow we tackle division!

In writing, we took some Super Sentences that we wrote and revised them to be like one of the ways we know we can start our writing: action, dialogue, setting, shocking statement or a question. This was tricky, but we are learning how to begin our writing with good leads.  In word work, we learned about ways to make the long a sound in words. We did a word sort with words that have a and magic e, ai, ay, or other patterns that make the long a sound.

This afternoon in work jobs, we learned a new way to Read to Someone involving checking for understanding. Some students worked on this while other met in reading groups. We ended our day reading another Jan Brett book called The Umbrella.
