December 11, 2013

Good Morning,
  The kids started their day working on their sight words (this is something they do each morning from 7:40-7:50).  This is the second week with their current words and I will tsp them on Friday.  We then had a our Morning Meeting.  Today Jack, Jude and Emma signed up to share.  As part of the Morning Message, I asked students to write and expression using the < and > than symbols.  We had a quick discussion about who to figure out expressions that looked like this: 4+5 ___ 3+3+1.

  Then the students went to PE.  There was a substitute in PE class.  They seemed to enjoy the class and the sub had a lot of great energy.  The day continued with Spelling and Reader's workshop.  Rachel Rosenbloom was in volunteering today.  We ended the morning with an abbreviated Writer's Workshop.  We looked at a wordless book titled Good Dog Carl.  The students had to identify the components of a narrative as we looked through the book.

There is reading homework tonight.

*Still looking for someone to provide juice and cups for our viewing of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory on the 20th.  Please let me know if you can provide this.

Peace,
Tommy
