Wow! We have had an awesome week! Every day we've had inspiring words from our APEX team. We've talked about Diving In, Being Resourceful, Elevating Others(this class has always been wonderful at this!), Attitude Check, and Make a Difference. Then on Thursday, we had our fun run! Our class had $51.19 pledged and so this afternoon we had an extra recess with Brandon form APEX and Monday students can wear a hat or have crazy hair! Envelopes go home today to help collect pledges. Remember you can get new pledges through Sunday! This week in COMMUNICATION ARTS, we have been very busy. In Large Group PTR, we've been working on mastering vowel town, building words with QU, and practicing defender c words (words ending in ck). In Small Group, we are working on vowel town, saying it on our own, spelling it, and finding and covering the sounds. We;ve been segmenting and writing words with defender c and the H brothers (th, ch, sh, wh). We've been wonderful at rotating through small group, center stations, reading in our browsing baskets, and using the tablets. In Shared Reading, we've been focusing on the learning target of I can use comprehension strategies to ask and answer questions. We have started using an Interactive Reading Notebook to help us with strategies. In Writing, we've been working on topic sentence, adding details, and writing a concluding sentence. We practiced writing about ice cream and then we wrote and published (in the hall) about the APEX experience. In MATH this week, we have been focusing on adding and subtracting to 20. We used a number line as a strategy and we've been playing learning games. I am so pleased that now everyone is at least a level 2 on adding and subtracting fluently to 10 (we have a bunch of level 3 friends). Thanks for practicing math at home. With the APEX this week, we haven't gotten to Test the home fluency things as often as I would like.
