Thank you SO very much for all the wonderful birthday wishes! I truly had the BEST day! Your children showered me with love, cards, flowers and sweet treats.
And what a surprise... I LOVE the Cardinal art!!!
It will go perfectly next to my sons Cubs art! 😉
And... we didn't take a picture before devouring the cake!
Thanks, Mrs. Purk! WOW!
This week we will return to the virtue of RESPECT. We define RESPECT as God’s power for you to honor Him and others. Our story is about David and his son, Absalom, and how Absalom disrespected both God and David. As we read, we'll ask ourselves this Big Question, "How can you respect God and others even when you are being treated unfairly?"
SPELLING and PHONICS
This week we will read, review, and sort words with beginning consonant blends.
READING SKILLS and STRATEGIES
We've really been learning a lot during Reader's Workshop. One of the best times is share time. Hearing the learning from our friends is powerful! We will continue to read and practice retelling this week.
Our mentor sentence come from another Kevin Henkes book called Lilly's Purple Plastic Purse. It's so fun to watch the children's knowledge build week to week as they dissect all the different parts of a sentence. Along with everything they already know, the kiddos will focus on plural nouns this week.
WRITINGThere was excitement in the air last week when the class heard it was time to pick one of their favorite personal narratives to polish into a published piece of writing. We'll be reviewing the writing process and begin publishing this week.
Mrs. Reck-Meyer is also helping us with a project for CCLS-U. It's been fun to work with chrome-books!
