Peek at my Week 8-31-15

     This week, we are working on retelling the beginning, middle, and end of stories in reading. During writing, we are still working on procedures, and will be writing about something we have done with a friend or family member. In grammar we will be learning about commands and exclamations, and reviewing capitalizing the first word of the sentence, and putting punctuation at the end. I will also continue introducing literacy station activities and pulling students individually for DRAs. In social studies, we will learn about rural, urban, and suburban communities and using a compass rose. Our character focus is kindness. We will create an anchor chart with examples of kindness.

     You can download the PDF here. I made sure it was set to anyone with the link can view. :-)

Valentine Math and Literacy

 Valentine addition with us as the manipulatives.

 Independent practice

 We read I Love You! by Deanna Jump and then played "Bee the Word" by putting the sentences from the book in order.

 We worked in math stations...

 ...while friends passed out their Valentines.

 Then we sorted, graphed and added our Valentines.
