Another great day with the amazing learners of Team 73. This morning we read a book that included silly poems about school. After this we talked about the classroom expectations for quiet reading. We talked about 3 different ways to read a book (the words, the pictures and a re-tell) and we made a list of what the classroom should look like and sound like during quiet reading.
After quiet reading we had Writer's Workshop. We learned about drawing a picture, labelling and then writing a sentence. We also talked about how to spell words when we don't yet know how. We pretend words are like rubber bands, say the word slowly, stretching it out and writing down the sounds we hear.
After snack we worked on our calendar activities and headed off to music.
After lunch we continued working on our subitizing skills. We also talked about 10 frames and did some subitizing with them. After this we played subitizing bingo in partners. We also got our new math journals and did a math about me page. Each child chose a number that they liked and thought of all the different ways they could represent that number (pictures, tally, ten frames etc).
At the end of the day we had gym outside as we will tomorrow.
Many papers went home today. I have also sent home September's book order. Scholastic has a new system for parents that allows you to pay online. I have set this up so hopefully it works. Let me know if you have any troubles. Once you pay online you will still need to send in the order forms to me. Book orders are due on Monday September 7.
Have a wonderful evening.
