Hi parents,
Sorry about the lack of blog post - the internet was down at school all day!
We had a great day today. The students wrote acrostic poems using their first or last names, we practiced writing numbers in expanded form, and read the book "How Big is a Million?"
The class practiced writing numbers up to 1,000,000. We're going to spend more time on the skill of hearing a number read aloud, and then writing that number accurately. It gets pretty tough with large numbers that have '0's in various place value spots. Students are also having a bit of trouble knowing how many 0's to put for numbers beyond 1,000. But I am still amazed by how much they know! I was thinking this concept would take at least a month to cover, but now I'm thinking only a couple weeks. :)
Our first spelling quiz of the year is tomorrow - should be a fun time. Have a nice night!
Zac
