February 8

Happy Wednesday families!  Today was a busy day.  This morning we had our usual routine.  During Daily 5 I was listening to several students read their non-fiction books.  We are still working on our comprehension strategies which we continue to learn about in CAFE.  Our strategy for the day was Tune In To Interesting Words.  Tomorrow we will be getting a juicy words collection sheet where we can add interesting words that we come across in our reading.  We read a bit of a Fancy Nancy book which definitely helped us tune in to interesting words.

Today in Writer's Workshop we had the option of working on our twinkle twinkle song or creating a completely new song.  I know Mrs. McBride is very eager to hear what we have written.

In Math today we continued to learn about fractions.  We played a fractions bingo game.  This bingo card has been sent home with each child for extra practice.  They will tell you how to play.

Today we practiced our word work strategies during Words Their Way. I met with a new group and we learned about many new interesting words.  Such as the difference between stationery and stationary.

Today during S4 we talked about using words to create sunny days rather than words that create stormy days.  

Book orders are due on Monday February 13.

Have a wonderful evening.
