Week of November 6, 2010

This week in Language Arts, the students edited their stories and created wonderful cover pages. I learned about all of the exciting ways they have been surprised. Some shared experiences about trick-or-treating, visits from loved ones and presents received for birthdays and holidays. They will share their stories with their friends very soon! We have been diligently working with the students on writing using the correct capitalization and punctuation. We have also been learning lots of grammar rules. The Explode the Code for this week focused on the consonant blends, -bl, -cl, -fl, and -gl. In our math class, we are working on lots of different things. Some of the students are ordering numbers, subtracting with regrouping, and counting dollars and coins. We are also doing timed fact tests to increase math fluency skills.
