This morning we edited our message for many missing bossy r chunks. This week we are focusing on 'er,' 'ur,' and 'ir,' which all make the same growly sound! We noticed "er" is very useful in the ends of words, including "writer" and "centers," to name a couple. We each chose a writing goal to focus on from our bullseye target in today's journal entry. Our writing prompt was, "I wish I could travel to..." After recess we began a new round of literacy centers, and tried rallying with a partner using badminton nets in phys ed. In the afternoon we did reflective self-assessments of our citizenship in learning. In music, the students learned more about Peter and the Wolf, including which characters match the flute and clarinet in the music. We finished our day learning and playing a really fun math game, Bubblegum Bump. This version is helping us quickly subitize and add up 3 numbers from dotted dice.
Mail Pockets
- No new notices, so mail pockets remained at school.
- Home Reading went home, if returned to exchange.
Please and Thank You / Volunteer Opportunities
- We would love to have morning reading volunteers to share books with students one-on-one, from 8:30-9:00 any day that it works for you!
- We would very much appreciate volunteers during literacy centers: Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday from 10:45 - 11:30, Wednesday 9:15 - 10:00, and Friday from 9:00 - 9:30. Thanks for considering!
