Last week, we were able to let our second butterfly go. We were very excited to see our Monarch fly away! We continued learning about life cycles and the number line, and began learning about other math tools and our different small group jobs. Starting this next week, we will be trying out our small group stations. We will also be learning about schema and connections (what we already know about helps us understand the stories we read).
The last two weeks, we have been working on our reading stamina. We've been trying to beat our record of how many minutes we can read without stopping. So far, we're up to about twelve minutes! Thankfully, we've been working on picking out "just right" books, so we are able to read great books that we pick at our level.
Please remember to sign and date your child's power reading chart for every 20 minutes he/she reads. Also, remember to sign your child's planner each night, and leave a note if your child will be going home a different way than usual after school. We're off to a great year!
