Today was a very important day in our classroom.....it's report card day!!!! I reminded the kids to only open their report card once they are home for fear that some papers may be misplaced.
We started with 2 rounds of Daily 5. I met with one group this morning to review comprehension strategies. We once again talked about using the glossary, re-reading and reading ahead to help us understand unfamiliar words.
We had gym and music this morning. Please students remember to bring your precorder to school each Monday and Wednesday.
During Writer's Workshop we talked about revising and editing. I have also posted a sign up sheet where kids can sign up for a one to one writing conference with me. During this time we will review one story of their choice with the hopes of publishing it into a book. My first conference was with Elise and she has already started illustrating her book.
In math we learned division. It was our first day. I was so impressed with how well the kids transferred what they knew about multiplication over to division. We played a game to help us understand breaking numbers down into equal groups. Please ask your child how to play this game. It can easily be played at home for extra practice.
At the end of the day we met with Ms. Thomas' class to continue talking about rights and responsibilities. We did a fun activity where the kids were placed with a partner and given a card that had either a right or responsibility on it. Once the kids had their card they discussed it with their partner to make sure they had a clear understanding of what their card meant. Then they were required to walk around, talk to others and find the right or responsibility that went with their card.
