In reading, students studied the sequence of fiction stories and identified a story's central message. We practiced this skill by reading the classic The Boy Who Cried "Wolf", and students put their skills to use identifying these traits in the story Pig Goes to the Party.
In math, students learned how to solve problems with mystery addends and totals. Students expressed their thinking through drawing, and will continue practicing this skill throughout the year. Students also played "Guess the Partner to 10" with 5-group cards.
In writing, students created idea boards with Mrs. Chinn's help. These boards will stay in their writing folders to serve as a resource for future works. Mrs. Chinn also taught students how to tap the sounds in each word to ensure their spelling represents all sounds. On Wednesday, students used their imagination to finish the writing prompt "If I met a silly scarecrow..."
It was great talking to all of the students' families during conferences this week. Since it was a short week, there are not any extra photos in the Photo Gallery. Have a wonderful long weekend!
