We had a great week in the Dragonfly class! I Can't believe we have reached the week before April vacation! This year has just flown by! Report cards were sent home in blue folders on Friday. Please send the envelope back to school signed. Here are some pictures from our exciting week!
Reading
In reading we are beginning our Series Book Club Unit. We have spent the week reviewing good habits and reading skills to have in more complex text, like chapter books. We also reviewed how to talk about text with a buddy. The students have also enjoyed reading different poetry books to go along with our new writing unit.
Math
We have been working on measuring and developing good habits for when we measure. We have also worked on creating and reading different types of graphs. It was so fun having our own long jump competition to practice measuring! (I came in 6th, we have some jumpers in our class) We continue to work on subtraction and reading directions very carefully when we compute with word problems.
Writing
We have started working on poetry and the students have LOVED it. We have practiced looking at the world and ordinary objects with a poet's eye. We even went on a nature walk to get inspired for our poems! The students have already written some beautiful poetry and I can't wait to see what they accomplish throughout this unit. We have started putting our finished poems into our new poetry writing notebooks.
Word Work
The students have truly been taking ownership of their weekly sort words. Word work in our classroom is always so fun and the students have been doing so well with their weekly word tests. We are now working on remembering to apply these patterns to our writing! We have been spending some extra time on handwriting during word work time as well.
