Math

We continued to practice our double booklet for extra practice. Then we continued to practice counting by 2’s, 5’s and 10’s.

Unit of Inquiry

Today we continued to work on our invention poem! This is am acrostic poem, so we went through it together and then the students got to finish this. We also looked at ICE CREAM! We invented our own ice cream flavours.  

HWT

PGS. 68 – 69

Reading Comprehension

I am focusing on reading comprehension today with the students. We read, “LOVE, SPLAT” as a class. Then we talked about what happened in the beginning, middle, and end. Then we went through comprehension centers together. The students had 10 minutes to work at each center. The centers dealt with understanding the problem and solution of the story, a retell, a Venn diagram of characters, and a self to text connections.

Spelling

I gave students some extra review practice. NO sentences this week, as it is a review week. We will still have a spelling test.

Have a wonderful Weekend everyone.
