Hi Parents,
This week, the students worked very hard. In Reading/Language Arts, the students perfected their dictionary skills by defining words and then writing sentences using those words. The students also took turns using the Smartboard to teach their peers decodable words. If their peers did not spell certain words correctly, the students showed them how to “tap out” the words. We had great fun! We also had a great time breaking into reading groups and sharing our own experiences with others. It is important that students are able to “connect” to the text that they read. In Math, we worked on place value. We introduced 100 as a unit! We used math manipulatives so that the students could physically touch the ones, tens, and hundreds cubes. The students really put forth an effort to grasp the concept, but we are going to spend more time on it next week.
Thanks,
Kimberly Dickerson
