Today we went on our Winter Walk. We bundled up and headed outside. It was actually quite lovely when you were out of the wind. The kids enjoyed this extra time outside and so did I.
This morning during my guided reading group we learned about a book called Brain Matter. We discussed why an author might write this kind of book. Was the author's purpose to persuade, inform or entertain. We decided it was to inform.
We are having so much fun skipping in gym. Next week we will be making our own skipping routines in small groups.
During Writer's Workshop we wrote another "est" story together. I love hearing the kid's ideas with this type of writing because they come up with some very funny sentences.
In Math we talked about mental math strategies for adding 2 digit numbers. Please ask your child to explain to you what mental math means. I was so impressed with the mental math strategies the kids are using. Some are very complicated but they work!
Just a reminder there is no school on Friday. It is a PD day for teachers.
Have a wonderful evening.
