January 9, 2017

Welcome back!  

Students were hard at work today.  They wrote amazing stories about their Christmas vacation and then shared them with their classmates.

In Math, we are in the process of wrapping up our numbers units.  Students played double digit war today and also made numbers using numerals, addition sentences, tallies and rods/cubes.

Today, students learned about the Making 10 basic fact strategy and played "What Number Am I", this is a simple review activity that can be played at home using a deck of cards (with the face cards removed).


This week in Daily 5, we will be focusing on two strategies.  Comprehension (Gr.1&2): Check for Understanding using the Story Retelling Rope and Accuracy (Gr.1): Blend Sounds, Stretch and Reread.  Information on these two strategies is coming home today.  I encourage you to read through the papers and practice these during home reading. 

Notes: 
- There will be no Word Sorts this week, however Home Reading and Rainbow Words have commenced.  
- Early Dismissal is on Wednesday.  Students will be dismissed at 2:21.
