Fourteenth Day

Today was our first official day of study for unit 1. We began with the focus questions for the week: What do you like to do? What makes you special and unique? We used this week's vocabulary words in sentences. We read the realistic fiction selection: That Big Cat. We used the comprehension strategy of analyzing the text structure. About half of the class is getting very good at identifying the middle of a story. We used word building cards for the first time to begin work with '-an' and '-at' words. There is a homework sheet to go with these words for tonight.

In math we introduced addition sentences generated from a model.

Please do not forget that tomorrow (Tuesday) is our first banked time day and student dismissal is 1:04.
