Tuesday News


We had a fun Tuesday!

We began our morning with literacy morning work in which we worked on word families, completing a sentence, and unscrambling sight words.  

 Next, we had morning message, calendar, and daily news. Afterwards, we had a fun recess outside! Then, we came in and began reading groups. During groups, we practiced blending sounds and reading, sight word practice with a search and coloring a patterns with the letters, and listened to a story. 

After reading groups we had math in which we practiced the number line as a strategy for addition and subtraction and then did subtraction with equations and objects. Next, we did a staff appreciation writing gift. The kids did such a great job with this and are becoming such amazing little writers!  

 Our afternoon was filled with lunch, recess, library, quiet time, snack and show and share, a kite art project with our 4th grade buddies, recess, and free choice centers!
