We started the day with the start of a new component to Reading Workshop; Guided Reading groups. The children are grouped in groups of 3-4 students and are working together on reading a novel. Most of the reading will be done out loud which is a great opportunity for them to practice their fluency and expression. They will do group activities and projects based on their books as well as some individual comprehension work. Here are some photos from today's groups:
After recess the students had Math and they continued with their work on patterns. The Grade 4's are now working with a favorite program of mine called Math to the Max to build their confidence with this unit. The grade 3's will be starting it soon as well.
For WW today we talked about helping our readers hear what is happening in our writing. Ask them about some of the sound words we talked about today. We had a fun time reading an extensive list of them.
Then off to the lab for some typing practice. Most of the students are very consistent about keeping their hands on the home row which is major progress.
After lunch we had Science and we did an interesting experiment about sound and what materials block sound and which don't. Ask your child what he or she discovered about this topic.
The students ended their day with PE with a special guest teacher - Mr. Morrow! I hope they had a blast.
I can't figure out how to update the homework page from my phone but the only work this weekend is overdue work and the Spelling Worksheet for Unit #4.
Have a wonderful weekend everyone!
