8.24.11

The week is now halfway over, friends!  We had a busy day today and we're getting into the swing of things!

WRITING:
We worked on "pronouns" which take place of a noun.  These make sentences sound better.  For example: instead of saying, "Jack rode Jack's tractor," the sentence would be, "Jack rode HIS tractor".  To practice this, we used our lyrics from the "SchoolHouse Rock" nouns song and circled the pronouns. 
HOMEWORK: none

READING:
Today was our day to practice being in a small guided group with Mrs. Thomas as part of our reading rotations.  To practice this, we completed a graphic organizer on character traits and feelings.
HOMEWORK: none

SCIENCE:

MATH:
we worked on place-value!  Students practiced creating numbers with place-value pieces, and then saying numbers up to billions.  They are doing a sensational job!
HOMEWORK: none

PM EXTRAS:
Because of our AWESOME reports from this afternoon, we got to have some reading time outside this afternoon.  Here are some pictures of our activity!
Bob enjoyed the extra reading time too!




Have a wonderful Wednesday evening!  Thank YOU for being YOU!
xoxo,
Mrs. Thomas
