We've had a great first week! On Friday, we began the morning with math. After reviewing the concept of fact families, we made a fact family tree. The video shows the kids cutting and pasting on their fact family apples. The trees are a work of art!
In reading, we have been trying to make sure that the books we read are just right - not too easy, not to hard. I am impressed that the children are so aware of what is right for them.
In spelling, we took a beginning of the year assessment. From this assessment I will determine the spelling groups for the Words Their Way spelling program.
By afternoon, we were reading in our social studies book about communities and discussing and coloring our vocabulary flashcards. We stored them in our binders behind the social studies tab. If you have not managed to get the dividers, please try to do so before long. It is important for the children to be organized.
We ended the day by writing a birthday letter to one of our classmates. Yes, you can expect to get a folder of birthday letters on your child's birthday! Believe me, they are a lot of fun to read.
