Busy Day!

Hi everyone!

We had a busy day today, didn't we? Here are a few things you can review about what we did today:

We read a passage about race cars and made predictions about the passage. We read to practice our fluency and accuracy.

We worked on how to use a calculator today and were challenged by NOT using some keys to make given numbers.

We talked about more ideas for writing and chose one favorite person we know to write about. We wrote one topic sentence and tried to write 4 detail sentences about that person.

During reading, we listened to our read aloud and had to complete some exit questions to show how well we were listening. We also worked on a word sort on our desks and a blind sort with partners. Mrs. Grezlik had some of us come over and read to her to check our fluency rates. She'll finish that tomorrow.

In social studies, we read about how we can read maps and discussed why they are important.

Today's homework includes:
Reading - 20 minutes and write the title of one book on your homework sheet
Otter Creek - cut out your flash cards up to the level you are currently on (I shared those with the class at the end of the day and they were to add them to their homework sheet)
Word Wall - study
Words their Way - do a sort at home and do a blind sort with a parent where YOU DO THE WRITING and they do the speaking. Remember - you only get to hear the word and have to write it in the correct column.
