We had a fun Christmas-themed week. We read some great books, worked on comprehension, completed creative writing pieces and practiced our addition fact fluency.
Habit 5: Seek First to Understand Then to be Understood was the Lead Time topic the last few weeks. We discussed listening with our whole bodies and being honest. Friendly reminder that our Christmas party is next Tuesday on the half day. We'll have hot chocolate, fun games and a cute craft. Have a great weekend! Snack helpers Mon- Mrs. Waddell Tues- half/party day We worked on recognizing the central message/lesson of a story. Our non-fiction teaching book writing unit is coming to an end. Students will complete a couple more how-to pieces, but they worked on their final books this week. We have lots of fun Christmas-themed writing for the rest of the semester.
The Topic 9 math test is next Tuesday. We'll focus on addition fact fluency until break. Friendly reminder about our dress-up days.

Students did themed, how-to writing and letter writing. We get back into teaching books next week. Sprinkles the Elf is quite a hit. He got an abundance of letters during Daily 5 work on writing :) I love seeing how excited they get over him.
We finished up math topics 7 and 8 this week. Topic 9 focuses on comparing numbers using greater than, less than equal to, as well as 1 more, 1 less, 10 more and 10 less than a number. I start DRA testing the end of next week. The goal for the end of second quarter is a level 10. Dax's sitter is out Monday, so I am staying home with him. I let the students know that they have a substitute. This is the first time I've been gone, so they seemed slightly concerned :) Friendly reminder that our December dress-up days start next week.
