What a busy Monday.... In math, we worked on number stories. Our objective was to guide children as they make up, represent, and solve addition number stories. In each number story, there is a unit/label (Ex: Children) and a number model. An example of a number story is "There are 6 children sitting on the carpet. There are 4 children sitting at their seats. How many children in all?" The number model is 6+4=10. The unit is children and answer is 10 children. Take a look at the students working hard.
In reading, our objective was "good readers read with expression- using punctuation". We talked about how important it is to read with expression. Example: When you see a period, you stop. When you see a comma, you take a breath. When you see a question mark, your voice goes higher. When you see an exclamation point, you read with excitement. Students practiced reading a poem with their reading partner.
In writing, our objective was "good writers revise for the purpose of conjunctions, pronouns, and transitions." We talked about the importance of having our stories have details, transition words (first, next, then, last), and punctuation. Take a look at these hard working writers during the revision process.
Jaiden is adding details to his story.
Maira is adding transition words!
In Science, we followed up with our melting race. We saw that the water we put into our clear dishes disappeared over the long weekend!!! We confirmed that it was "evaporation".... Take a look at these scientists making observations!

What a day!!! So much done!! Please remember that the book fair is going on in the media center... I took the students today from 2:20-2:40pm. If your child wishes to purchase anything from the book fair, please send in money in an envelope or ziplock baggie with their name on it... I will send them when it is convenient during the day....
Thanks so much for your help!
**FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT THIS THURSDAY IS OPEN HOUSE NIGHT!** 7-8:00pm!
