We sure missed you today! Please read on to find out how our day went. I’ve collected everything for you and will let you finish what you can over the next few days.

LANGUAGE: This morning, we reviewed the Wordly Wise definitions from Lesson 2. You can do that by playing with the flash cards found here.

Students entered the next five word wall words into their Spelling Dictionaries. You will find them posted on the pink sheet of paper on the board tomorrow so you can easily add them. The good news is, four of them are already in there, so all you need to do to those is highlight them.

MATH: The lesson today was focused on number patterns and skip counting. You can see a few examples on the power point below. The students were very familiar with the frames and arrows format from last year, so you will probably recognize it.

We completed pages 23 and 24 in the math journal, too. Question four was kind of tricky…

Since the lesson went so smoothly, we had time to play the Number Grid Difference Game. You might remember we played a couple of rounds last week but never really finished the game. Today, we had new partners and tried again.

LIBRARY: Mrs. Edwards held a book talk on two of the Buccaneer Books: Strawberry Hill and Greetings from Nowhere.

After that, we held…rotation!

SMALL GROUP READING: Students continued reading in their Sea Monsters book about creatures that live in the deep. They were able to choose to read about one of two creatures: the Anglerfish or the Vampire Squid. Small groups read together and attempted to write in “caveman speak” and interesting or important facts they learned.  (Click the pictures to find out more.)

SEATWORK: Today, students went to this site to read about a few sea creatures that live in the ocean. The worksheet they completed can be found here.

Of course, we also had DEAR time this afternoon. And wouldn’t you know it, by the end of rotation it was 2:45. We tore out the math homework for today (Homelink 1-12) and were sure to take home Wordly Wise to complete parts A & B. Though you will find a homework sheet in your mailbox in the morning, you can always find a copy here on the blog.

We hope you come back to see us tomorrow! Take care and get well soon!
