We had another great week in Room 117!
Here is an update on what we are learning:
Reading:
In Reading this week, we worked on retelling stories. We discussed retelling stories two different ways. One way to retell a story is by starting at the beginning, and another way to retell a story is by starting with where you are at and backing up. We also discussed how to be a good listener by listening intensely. We created a list of ways to show you are a good listener. We practiced these skills throughout the week in all subject areas.
Today, we met with our reading buddies in Mrs. Thompson's First Grade Class. The students enjoyed eating skittles and getting to know their reading buddy. Here are some pictures from this morning:
Writing:
All week, student worked on their Best Part of Me writing. We brainstormed, drafted, revised and edited this piece of writing. We started publishing, but we will finish next week. The pieces of writing look great so far!
Math:
This week students reviewed the properties of multiplication (commutative, identity, zero, and distributive). We discussed shape and number patterns. Today, we talked about the meaning of division. We will continue working on multiplication as it is related to division.
Social Studies:
This week in Social Studies, our emphasis has been on the four geographical regions of Missouri. We have discussed the history, land, agriculture, and other facts about each region. On Tuesday, the students will take a quiz on Missouri's cities, rivers, and regions.
Have a great weekend! :)
