Today we started lesson 14 of language arts. We took a pre-spelling test. We learned new sight words and new robust vocabulary. We talked about pronouns, how they are words that replace nouns (she, he, they, we, etc).
For center time, the boys and girls practiced their spelling words with fancy letters, wrote about what would happen if they joined the circus, listened to our lesson's story "Rainforest Babies," read to someone, and read to self.
We had a little time for writing, so we talked about Martin Luther King Jr, and then wrote what our dream would be.
We had indoor recess where we watched "Finding Nemo," or drew in our notebooks. Then we went to PE followed by a unit review of S.S before our test tomorrow. We had music, snack, and then math.
In math we learned different methods for adding two digit numbers; Show All Totals, New Groups Below, and New Groups Above. We will continue to work on these!
For math centers the boys and girls did the MATH rotations (M=manipulatives, A=a flashback, T=teacher time, and H=hands on). They played number battlesship, did some flashcards, played bump it, met with me on the new methods for addition, and also played MEGA MATH on the smartboard.
We had a bit of a loud and squirrely afternoon, so we had a little chat before we headed home :)
Have a nice night!
