We worked hard today! There were a lot of "firsts" this week....today we had our first day of literacy. To start, every week we will be learning a poem in class. We practiced the poem together and analyzed the poem for rhyming words, patterns, etc. Every weekend, the poetry binder will come home and I told the students they are to practice reading their poem(s) to someone at home. This will help reading fluency. Every time they read the poem, they will get better! We also talked about the phonics pattern "id" and "ide". I sent home a list of their first spelling and vocabulary words. These are to be practiced over the weekend and throughout the following week. We went over the words in class as well, but typically they will be learned on Mondays. Then, we got to read with our 4th grade Book Buddies in Mrs. Walters' class. This afternoon, we talked about numbers, skip-counting, and addition/subtraction. The students do have one page of math homework that they need help with...it should be returned on Monday. At the end of the day, we celebrated two birthdays and went to the park for Celebration Day.
If you have any empty cereal boxes, please send them to school as soon as possible. We are in need of more "book boxes"!
Have a wonderful weekend!
