Hi parents,
I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving weekend - based on the students' journal entries, it sounds like it was a pretty good one!
Today was a good day for our class. The students wrote in their journals, practiced spelling words, worked on some 2-digit addition problems, and continued working on their bat books.
This time, our focus was on adaptations, and the many unique ones that bats have. I am so happy every time the word 'echolocation' comes up in a class discussion.
We did some quiet reading, worked in Literacy Groups, and read "Stellaluna".
Tomorrow we are going to try our first ever math quiz, on the topic of Place Value. Just like with our spelling quizzes, the purpose of tomorrow's quiz is to help students capture their current learning, and build some test-taking skills that will certainly come in handy down the road. The quiz is not worth stressing over but taking the time to review the 'ones', 'tens', and 'hundreds' places may help students go into it with even more confidence.
