This week our Principal's Pride feature student is Raina D. She was nominated for making a great adjustment to her new school and having such a positive attitude that is contagious to all around her!
In Language Enrichment/ Word Study...
We have finished talking about the two types of syllables, open and closed. The students learned that an open syllable ends in one vowel. The vowel is long so we code it with a macron. A closed syllable ends in at least one consonant. The vowel in a closed syllable is short so we code it with a breve. We also learned that a syllable is a word or a part of a word that is made with one opening of the mouth. A syllable has one vowel sound. This week we will learn to code words and practice reading and decoding in our Language Enrichment booklets.
Word Work words this week are: get, ten, red, let, men, yes (short e sound)
Vocabulary words of the week: said, was, for, she, his
Challenge words: changes, scientist
In Reader's workshop this week we are focusing on monitoring our comprehension. As a whole group we read a story and record our thinking on sticky notes. After we finish reading we discuss and order our thoughts and them put them together in our Reader's Response notebook. This is a reading strategy children can use to help them understand what they are reading and connect their learning to their life.
In Writer's Workshop we will continue to talk about forming Ideas. So far we've learned that we can get ideas from our experiences and from pictures and things we see. We will be reading a book called All I See by a wonderful author named Cynthia Rylant, in which a man paints things he sees in his imagination. We will discuss who authors use their imaginations to write stories also. Our mini lesson focus this week is stretching words to help us spell the sounds we hear.
In math we are finishing up our unit on Number Sense. We will have our "End of the Unit" game day and assessment sometime this week. The students have learned how to read and write numbers to 99, how to order numbers and what greatest and least mean. We will work with numbers on a number line before this unit is over. Our next unit is Adding and Subtraction in Problem Solving Situations.
In Science we began working in our Science Notebooks. We began by brainstorming what a "Scientist" is and what job they do. Today we will discuss safety as a scientist and share our timelines that we made at home to go with our Social Studies unit.
Have a great first day of Fall!
