Today we had a good Monday. The boys and girls got assigned new
weekly jobs, like teachers assistant and sanitary patrol. We started our
turtle time over, trying to build up free time for Fun Friday. We did
daily 5 centers; writing a letter to our new star student, doing a
fluency test with me, reading-to-self, listening to a book on tap, and
working on writing our word wall words. We started our "Beginning of the
Year Benchmark" tests. They did pretty well for the first two portions.
After lunch we did more testing, had PE followed
immediately by library, then settled in for a math lesson on partners of
numbers. We built math mountains and used our white boards to find
patterns.
We finished with a story starter "If I were an animal I'd be a..." to wrap up our testing for the day.
Get lots of rest and a good breakfast each day this week for our tests! :)
