Picture day is tomorrow! :) I love seeing the kids all dressed up and the girls with their hair done :) I will bring my camera tomorrow to take some picture around the classroom of the students doing work to share with you online. Remember to send in your order form if you would like to purchase the pictures from Lifetouch.
Today in class we worked on writing fiction. We wrote a story called "The day the Butterfly went to school" we had to have a problem and solution--the stories the kids came up with were hilarious! Ask your child about his/her story.
In reading we used sticky notes to write short messages about interesting things in our reading. The kids were great with this and really seemed to use the sticky note method well-- this is something they could do at home too!
In math we moved into Unit 2 with some story problems. This was hard for some students who struggled with reading but everyone was excited about the story problems are kept working hard. We also did a fun math project when we were done-- we used coin stamps to make a "coinapillar." I hung them up in the window and the kids practiced added up the coins on each coinapillar.
In science we observed our butterflies and mealwroms--looks to me like the caterpillars are about to start forming their cocoons! We cant wait to see this happen! the mealworms are not as exciting-- most the kids wrote "they stink" or "they look dead" in their journal today :( Hopefully they will start shedding their skin too so we have more to look at!
Reading Groups will be starting on MONDAY. All the kids will be assigned to a teacher and will be going for 40 minutes to that teacher on Monday.
This FRIDAY is Detroit Tigers day. All students are invited to wear Tigers gear :)
