Tomorrow during Daily 5 I am going to introduce another job: Listening to Reading. The kids will now have 3 jobs to choose from. I have a chart that keeps track of what everyone is doing to ensure no one is continually doing the same job over and over.
I worked with a group of grade ones today. I introduced the reading strategy "look for the parts you know". We also talked about /ing/.
On Thursday mornings we will be having music with Mrs. Jones. We usually have music on Mondays and Wednesdays with Mrs. McBride but now we have it on Thursdays too. This is awesome.
In math we are moving on to addition. Grade ones will be working on addition to 18 and the grade twos to 100. I teach math in a spiraling format which means I am constantly re-visiting the same math outcomes throughout the year. I do not just teach addition and subtraction at the beginning of the year and then never again. We re-visit these skills on many occasions throughout the year.
Monday is Pinwheels for Peace Day. We started creating our pinwheels with our grade 3/4 buddies.
Today in gym we played with an omnikin ball. Please ask your child what this is.
Running Club started today. Sounds like it was a lot of hard work. Way to go team. See you all tomorrow. Friday is a half day!
p.s. Please see previous post about the Fall Fair coming up :)
