It's MONDAY! This morning we jumped right into reading. We are working on the short a sound again this week. We practiced writing short a words on our whiteboards with a partner. We read the story "Sad, Sad Dan" and we learned more about sentences. Then, we started working on our beginning of the year reading benchmark test. We had music in the morning and gym in the afternoon. In social studies we learned all about the past, present, and future. Some of us had a lot of fun drawing what we think we are going to look like in the future! After social studies, we went to our first round of MAP testing. Some parts were easy and some questions were hard. Math today we learned about break-aparts of 5. We practiced this using little "lambs" today. Our day ended with some spelling practice. I hope everyone has a great night. I look forward to seeing you all tomorrow!
