What we have been up to:
Reading: Our theme this week was about animal homes. We read about animals in the Everglades and talked about key details in our reading. This week we had some time to read some Thanksgiving poems. We will practice and add to these poems up until Thanksgiving week as we will be reading to some third graders before Thanksgiving break. Having students read things more than once helps build fluency.
Math: In math we did some story problems with three addends. Students amazed me at how well they did with this. They are great problem solvers. This week students were able to explore patterns with calculators.
Science: We have continued our study about animal classifications. This week we learned about birds and reptiles. Students are really enjoying looking at library books on each of these classifications. Mrs. Patton came to talk to us about these animal classifications.
