Week of October 31, 2010

This week in Language Arts, the students wrote about a time when they were very surprised. The students used graphic organizers to help them generate their ideas. We also used the 5 W’s (who, what, when, where, and why) to make sure the students included important details. We are in the editing and revising stage right now. The students will share their writing with their peers on next week. The students also did Explode the Code for all the vowel sounds, sentence correction, singular/plural nouns and grammar exercises. We have had a busy week! The students are also having a great time in reading groups with their peers or one-on-one! In our math class, we are doing lots of different things. Some of the students are adding and subtracting single digits, while others are adding and subtracting with regrouping! I explain to the students that our class is so much more exciting because we sometimes do different things! :)
