September 16, 2013

Our first indoor day today, which many of the children were excited about.  Finally a chance to play the games in our classroom!

We started with Reading Workshop for the 3's, who had silent reading and then continued working on their literature study.  The 4's worked with me on Math, and have some homework if they didn't complete the work in class.

Then we had our Spelling Pre-Test, which most of the students did very well on.  Each child also has a worksheet based on the words that they'll need to have done by Friday.  You can find the spelling words and memory verse on the link on the homepage.

For DPA we played a fun version of tag called Pacman Tag.  Ask your child about it :)

After recess we had Writing Workshop and each student created a heart map.  This is a way to organize their ideas, and they've glued them into their Writer's Notebooks for safe-keeping and reference later.

Then the 4's had Reading Workshop while the 3's worked with me in Math, continuing on with patterns.  We just started on finding patterns in a 100 chart when the bell went for lunch.  To be continued next class!

After lunch we had Science, and continued working with the decibel meter, noticing how the intensity of sound changes based on how near or far you are to the object producing the sound.  If you have an iPad, check out the app called 'Decibal 10th', which is a pretty cool app that we've been using in class.

We filled out our planners and then headed off to Chapel, and that ended our day.  It's good to be back at school - a fresh week, a new start, and praising God for this day.

Here's a funny photo taken in Math class...Avery was attracting the trapezoids!
