I am so excited that the rain is gone for a while. I know we need it but it makes recess miserable-at least for the teachers. The kids don't seem to mind.
Thank you to all of you who donated candy for Saturday Live. I had the privilege of working the 10-11am shift. It was great to see how much fun the kids were having and the weather even cooperated.
We have a full week ahead of us. In math, we will continue to work on addition strategies. We have learned about the commutative property 4+6=10 so 6+4=10, counting on, number line, and doubles. This week we will learn about doubles +1, and ways to make 10. We spend a lot of time on ways to make 10.
In reading, we will talking about "What is it like where you live?" We will ready about city and country living. Our focus will be on words that have the short i sound as in insect and reading strategies that help them decode words.
In writing, the kids will write a sample opinion paper. This is just so I can see where they are at in their writing abilities. We will talk about revising, editing, and how to choose a piece to publish.
I will not be here Thursday and Friday. My son is a senior golfer at Skyview and will be competing in the state tournament. This is my last chance to see him play high school golf. When people say to enjoy your kids because they grow up too fast, its true. Enjoy the littles!
Hope you all have a great week!
