Friday Oct 21- Class Update

Our Learning:

ELAL:

We are working on adjectives and adding details to our writing... we have been writing about our swimming this week and trying to stretch our sentences by adding adjectives and the 5 W's. 

Daily 5- we are working on the long O words, such as "home, coat, toe, goat, float, close, dome" and reading with a partner or by ourselves. We read and listen to books on Epic. This week we got our RazKids log in so we will use that at school and it can be used at home. 

SLA:

We are working on reading syllables (ta, te, ti, to tu, ma, me, mi, mo, mu) and reading books in Spanish. We have read books as a class and are practicing reading Spanish books to a partner. Students should be taking a Spanish book home from the library to read at home as well. They can also read and listen to Spanish books on RazKids, now that they have their log in cards. 

Math: 

We are reviewing addition strategies (+0, +1, +2, tens partners, doubles, doubles plus one) to add within 20. 

We are building numbers with base ten blocks (tens, ones) working our way up to three digit numbers and including the 100's place. 

We continue to practice skip counting by 2, 5, 10 to solidify our understanding. 

Science- we have finished our magnet projects. 

Social studies- we are understanding a compass (north, east, south and west) and using it to design and read maps.

RazKids is up and running. The grade 2 students have access to their RazKids account. Their log in cards were sent home this week with password and username. Please keep it handy so you can log in at home!
