Monday, January 11, 2016

Happy Monday! Today was a good, hard working day in our class.

We started off our morning with our usual morning meeting, which will be changing a little bit tomorrow, for remainder of the year. We will be joining forces with Mrs. Nelson's grade 1 class for morning meeting, as well as for some literacy time before lunch. Mrs. G and Mrs. Nelson thought this would be good for us to work with another class to help and learn from each other. We are looking forward to this time together.

Our new words for this week are coming home on a yellow sticky note paper. Please help me practice each night so I can, not only ace the quiz on Friday, but also learn and really memorize the rules when spelling red words.
This week our focus is letter blends - sh, oa, aw
Our words for this week are as follows:

Group A: she, ship, shell, dish, wish, fish, shin, shall, wash, mash
Group B: boat, coat, float, long, along, belong, paw, fawn, tall, wall

After recess we continued to work on our math review booklet that we started last week. We will finish these up this week and start a new math unit next week.

For the last half hour before lunch we got together with Mrs. Nelson's class to discuss ideas of things we would like to do together. A few ideas we brainstormed were:
- phonics                   - read together                - maybe do some math, art, or science projects together
-spelling                    - practice printing
To end our time together, Mrs. Nelson read a story called There was a Cold Lady Who Swallowed some Snow.  Tomorrow, when we get together, we will be doing a little activity around the story.

After lunch we had music.

The remainder of the afternoon was dedicated to our One and Only Ivan centers. Today, we went with Mr. Fisher and Mr. Fisher's came to Mrs. G. Ask me what we did with Mr. Fisher today!

Take a look at the pictures below to see what kinds of things we are doing in all three classes!
