This quote of the week went to Evan for always bringing a smile to other students!

Happy Belated birthday to our friend Zander!

Zander’s dad was our Mystery Reader this week! He read some silly books that the kids absolutely loved!

OUR LEARNING:

Reading–  This week we looked more carefully at characters in our book. We looked at character traits by noticing things that we see on the outside and on the inside of a character. Students took a closer look at the characters in their own books.

Writing – Students began writing reviews on one of their favorite things. Students choose to write about things like their favorite sport, subject in school, animal, or food. They worked to write three different reasons to support why what they choose was the best.

Math – We continued with our math switches this week. We worked on adding numbers to make teen totals. We used the clap and count up method. We also worked on learning our doubles by learning the doubles rap. Friday we too a quick quiz to check understanding. These will be sent home next week!

Word Study – Students worked on their snap word power! We practiced reading snap words in our books confidently. We also used our word walls to help us solve longer, trickier words.
