December News
Animals will continue to be our theme for the month of December. This week the students learned all about the characteristics of a beaver. We started talking about the beavers life cycle and we will continue this next week.
Our PWIM poster is focusing on Kids Who Care. The title that was chosen for the picture was "Grady To The Rescue". Over the next few weeks the students will complete their paragraphs to go along with the poster. Night and light were words shaken out of our poster. Students have been working with the "ight" family.
In reading the students are working on their goals during Daily 5. Some students have been working on accuracy, some on expanding vocabulary, and some have been working on comprehension. Questioning has been the main whole class comprehension strategy. We have also been using Digger the Dog (determining important ideas) in our beaver reading.
We are moving right along in math groups. Some groups have started the unit Addition and Subtraction to 100 while others are wrapping up Addition and Subtraction to 18.
We are trying to collect items to make a Christmas food hamper. Please check out the poster on our door when you come to the concert on Tuesday.
