November 9-13

Wow! Was it a crazy week! The students did so great with welcoming back with open arms! They have been so nice and well behaved. 

This week, for read aloud, we read "Wemberly Worried". We practiced predicting, retelling the important parts of our story, studying our main character, connecting to our main character, answering comprehension questions, and telling our favorite part. 

Our poem was called "Out in the Garden". We made movements to our poem, practiced our movements, wrote words that rhyme with rake, and found vowels in our poem. 

Our big book was "Not Quite Right". We enjoyed trying to guess why Carly's playhouse was just not quite right yet. (she was missing her friends). 

For community writing, we thought of ways to make our worries go away just like Wemberly did in "Wemberly Worried". 

For writing, we finished up our writing unit and had an authors celebration where we shared 1 writing piece with the whole class. We have worked so hard on writing. We learned how to tell a true story, what details to add, how to write sentences, and how to edit our writing to get it ready to share. 

For handwriting, we practiced lowercase O and S. 

Our new word wall word was "is". "Is" is a tricky word wall word because it sounds like there should be a Z at the end but it is an S. 

In math we have been practicing counting by 2's. We have also been practicing writing equations.
