Week 24 Recap
Posted in Classroom, Home Projects, Shared School | No Comments »Hello Everyone!
Thanks so much for coming to PTC this past week!
As we round out February we will begin our February prompt on beginning to write argumentatively. We will also do February’s problem of the month for math in our small math groups this coming week
Past Week:
I’ve been working on types of sentences with the Antelopes language group the past 2 weeks. They’ve been identifying the punctuation and asking themselves how that sentence is read and how it come across to others. In the Badgers language group we have been working on learning what Main Idea is and how to create a main idea for small story scenarios. The Crocs language group continued their practice with plural possessives in their writing. They do a great job at singular possessives, but plural possessives are tricky.
In group leveled lessons I got everyone’s Geometry in for the week:
Level 1s: horizontal, vertical, oblique, parallel, and perpendicular lines
Level 2s: Angles in polygons
Level 3s: Area
In cultural this past week we were able to get in 2 days, since we usually do those lessons in the afternoon. This week we got some Zoology and Physiology in
Level 1s: Birds external parts, types of bird beaks, and different kinds of birds
Level 2s: The Circulatory System
Level 3s: Echinoderms family and starfish
We had a great Valentine’s Day Party this past Wednesday. Thank you for all the organizing of supplies needed and if you came to donate your time. Thank you Katie for another great party!
Also, thank you for the wonderful cards, chocolates, and flowers. It made for a great day for Ms. Misha and I. Thank you thank you!
Upcoming Week:
The Spelling Bee is next week! I will be taking some time this coming week to see who our top 2 spellers are going to be representing our class at the Bee next week. I am looking to do this Wednesday afternoon.
This coming week I will have the 1st and 3rd graders do their fractions and 2nd graders will continue doing measurement practice with me.
Ms. Nikki has began a 2nd grade writing group this past week and will continue working with 2nd graders on how to do different kinds of writing. They began this past week learning fact from opinion. 3rd graders will still work with her on their writing skills too.
Friday- if anyone has finished their Feb. Service Project they can bring them in to share. I have left some time this Friday
We had the book Wonder donated to our classroom! We will begin to work in some time at the end of the day to read Wonder.
Literacy Week:
Next Week is the beginning of Literacy Week! Each day we will be doing a school wide activity. In our classroom each day will be themed with fun reading activities. The Spelling Bee is also next week! Next Thursday, March 1st will be Literacy Night! Come to MMA for some fun! There will be different “lands” to visit and lots of fun activities to do! I will be with Ms. Kirsten from Upper El running Harry Potter Trivia and Wand Making! Join us from 6pm-8pm. There are door prizes, Usborne Books usually comes, and lots of games. Mark your calendars!
Take care and have a great extra day to your weekend!
