Daily 5 is in full swing! Reading to self and listen to reading are very popular choices! (Did you know you can listen to reading at home too? Check out the student resources page!) Students also enjoy getting to do word work games too. It is a fun time of learning during our day!
During our "Word Work" time your children are busy learning new spelling patterns and working with words. Students start by sorting their words according to that week's spelling pattern. Then they complete various activities that help them to better understand the spelling pattern. This is a fun and exciting part of our day! The best part for me as their teacher is seeing their word knowledge transfer into their writing!
We had a wonderful time at River Legacy on Monday! We enjoyed playing at the park and eating lunch outside before heading to the science center.
At the science center we learned all about how animals and plants prepare for the winter. We even got to have some hands on learning at different stations! Some of us even got to hold taxidermy animals. The highlight of the nature walk was seeing the turtles swimming in a pond! Ask your child to share with you their favorite part! |
