This week, we had a guest science teacher, Mrs. Landry, visit us to teach us about light as a form of energy. We shined flashlights through a prism to show that when white light passes through a prism it bends to generate a rainbow. We then went back to our classroom and listed all the sources of light we discovered within our classroom.
With this week's snow day, delayed start, and science lesson, we were left with only two days of
Reading Workshop lessons. We learned:
- the word "like" and added it to our word wall.
- to pay attention to when stories take place. We reviewed that when a story happens, along with where it happens, are the two parts that make up the setting in a story.
This week during
Writing Workshop, we spent time editing and revising our small moment stories. We used correcting pens (which were a huge hit with the children!) to check for correct spelling of word wall words. We edited for capital letters and punctuation. We also spent time thinking of ways to add more details to our stories, using everything we've learned about beginnings, inside details, transitions, itty-bitty details, and endings, to make our stories even better. On Friday, we shared our stories with one another.
This week during
Math we:
- practiced solving number stories.
- played The Dice Throw game to practice addition facts.
- learned about the Commutative Property (when adding, it doesn't matter what order the addends are in).
- played 2 Digit Number Top-It to practice reading and comparing 2 digit numbers.
Next week will be a busy, exciting week as it is the week before vacation, Valentine's Day, and the 100th Day of School!
Best,
Katie
