Writing: Finishing up editing our best personal narrative and begin publishing it. We will be doing our writing prompt toward the end of this week. Students while demonstrate everything they have learned about writing personal narratives, this is the story I will be grading for first quarter report cards.
Reading: Learning strategies from our reading CAFE (Comprehension, Accuracy, Fluency, Expanding vocabulary) menu. The accuracy strategies are cross checking, chunk letters and sounds together, use beginning and ending sounds.
Phonics (word work): Spelling words with beginning S clusters (sn, sm, sl, sw, st, sk, sc)
Math: Finishing Topic 3 of using strategies and beginning Topic 4: Fluently add within 100.
Science: Thank you for all the pumpkin donations! We used scientific inquiry (ask a question, make a hypothesis, created a procedure, collected data, and made a conclusion) and found out pumpkins float. This week we will be asking questions about their creases and weight.
Lead Time: We are going back through the seven habits and going a little deeper. We are back at habit #1 Be Proactive, YOU ARE IN CHARGE OF YOU.
