Wednesday
In Social Studies, we worked with the American Revolution with an Ohio Studies Weekly. In Math, we did a Tile Task. Students had to design a tiled table top and then find the fractional parts as well as cost of each design. They did a great job with this. In City of Ember, we were introduced to Lina and Doon. They got their assignments today! We continued our work with characterization in Reader's Workshop and some groups got a glimpse into our first StoryWorks! I already love this resource! In Writer's Workshop, we continued our persuasive letters. Finally, in Word Study, we sorted our words to find the oy/oi and ou/ow vowel patterns in our words.
Thursday
We started the day with our buddies! We will be having a fire drill tomorrow so we met we made Magic Reindeer Food with our first grade buddies today. It was a lot of fun and very messy! Then, after gym, we played Rolling Fractions in Math. Students had a difficult time understanding the directions but they got quite a bit of fraction practice in. In City of Ember today, Lina enjoyed her first day as Messenger. She even delivered a pretty sneaky message to the mayor. We worked on building our stamina with independent reading and characterization during Reader's Workshop. In Word Study, we proved that we understood the pattern by finding words that would fit in their lists. Finally, we completed our day by working on our persuasive letters.
