August 30, 2011

WOW, what a day!  We were busy with our learning and we almost were able to get through all we needed to do.  However, we had library lesson and the computer gave us trouble.  This means our time ran over and library took longer than usual.  The students are allowed to check out 2 books.  I am trying to make sure the books are on their level.  If they struggle please read the book to them.  During reading we worked on the strategy read, cover, and tell.  Please have them model the strategy to you.  We worked on our road map strategy in writing and composed their story on their own.  Math was interesting we counted on by one.  They were given this as homework.  Then I tried to count on by two.  We used our magic number bowl trick and the students seemed to struggle more with adding two.  We will continue to practice more with counting on by two.  I will be sending the count on by two on Thursday.  I hope you will take time to let your child model their new strategies, at home.  This will help reinforce what is being taught in class. 

Thanks for all you do
