What's the Weather Today?

We made wind socks this week, launching our study of weather.  We are recording the weather in science notebooks.

​ We worked with the (u) sound on Monday, and played umbrella bingo in our reading groups.  We also learned a fun song about a HUGE umbrella.

A nice surprise was that we got four new fish this week in honor of the (f) sound. Three of them are Bala Sharks.

For the letter sound (l) we made agave lemonade on Tuesday.  It was our first "cooking" class this year.  Squeezing lemons is hard work and so is cooperative learning.  It was a good day to bring out a very special book.

Another big work this week was the work of setting goals to prepare for our IQ meetings next week.  This is not the easiest thing to do, because we want to think we already know everything there is to know.  It also seems like we might need to work hard if we have goals.  Are we sure we want to agree to that kind of thing?  Hmm?  YES!

Sadly, Eva had to move to a charter school this week.  Her family is hoping to be able to come back.

Word Work
Every day each group of students works on reading, spelling and writing skills appropriate for their goals.  Some students are writing and recognizing letters and sounds. This week they worked with letters that start with c when you write them (a, d, g, o).  Other students work with decodable words made from the letters we have introduced since week 1.  And another group worked on reading passages with comprehension and tricky words from the Word Wall.

Math groups in level A worked with ordering, and tallying amounts up to ten.  The level B group worked with writing equations and place value.

Finally, we began Mercy Watson Thinks Like a Pig.  The funny thing was that the Watsons were enjoying lemonade this week just like we were!
