Today in class we started to review for our math test! We went over greater and less than (which the kids are AWESOME at), practiced more coin counting, did some simple 'mental math' addition facts, and practiced with time (which they are also GREAT with). We will continue our review tomorrow with our first test on Friday!!
In writing we learned how to use our 'Quick Word'--which is like a mini-dictionary and talked about what to do if we can't find the word we need to spell. So far our strategies include: looking for the word around the room (on posters, on the word wall, in the word bank on the board, ect) and asking the teacher to add it to the Quick Word. All students have a bunch of standards words in their Quick Word but also a LOT of space for me to add individual words based on their needs. I am REALLY stressing the need for correct spelling and handwriting right now! I like to form good habits early on in the year :)
No important reminders today :) Just remember to do that homework for Friday! (3 spelling activities, the reading log, and the math)
Have a good night
