We made it through the first week. I think we were all exhausted by the end, but it was a great week!
Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to the back to school night. If you haven't returned all the paperwork (including the About Your Child) please send it in with your child on Monday. Also if you didn't return the blue binder send that in Monday as well. We need those binders for our writing this year.
Reading: This week in reading we reviewed Read to Self and how to pick a good fit book. We then started building stamina while reading. They did a great job at this!
We also worked on context clues. We read a book that had some made up words in it. We used context clues to help us figure out the meaning of the words. The students then were put into partners to come up with their own made up words. On Monday they are going to write sentences that contain context clues so the class can figure out the meaning of their word.
Writing: This week the students wrote one piece that was an opinion writing and one that was a narrative. This was to help give me an idea of where they are at with their writing.
Grammar: We reviewed nouns.
Projects: We reviewed the different Tribe agreements. We also did a lot of fun team building activites.
