With the Christmas concert coming soon, it has been so lovely to start our morning with songs. The class has been singing like angels! We can't wait to sing for you on concert night, Dec. 2nd.
We learned a new rule: s says z between two vowels and at the end of short words. those, was, surprise
We also continued our spellings of Long O practice. There are several ways to spell long o: o, o consonant e, oa, ow, oe. We learned a chant (oa says o in the middle, ow says o at the end) to help us remember what spelling use, as well completed word sorts, alphabetizing, draw and write, and a word search.
We completed the Kite String letters and are now on the Loop group. The first letter with a loop we practiced was 'h'.
Students can represent numbers with numerals, words, by their place value, in expanded form, and with base ten blocks. The concepts are reinforced using mathletics online. We have also completed our Basic Facts Addition practice and will now be working on Basic Facts subtraction over the next 6 weeks.
Students created these Place Value Creatures. Aren't they fun!
ELA
We have been working on a special writing project this week. Students are exploring a topic they know quite a bit about: themselves! We started writing an Autobiography that we will work on all year. The first topic was My Family. Students wrote a complete paragraph about their family, edited it on their own and with a peer, and we are currently using our keyboarding skills to type our paragraph into a Google doc. Each topic we write about will also be illustrated.Daily 5

We are well into our Place Value unit!
