Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays from room 310! We had a wonderful last day before winter break. We had I Time (we are wrapping up working on identifying the main idea of a passage), we took our spelling tests, completed some math assessments and we celebrated! This morning we watched "Santa Claus 3" with the specialist teachers. This afternoon we watched "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."

Have a wonderful and safe holiday break! See you next year!

Today was another busy day in room 310! During our class meeting, we talked about all the things we do to stay safe at school - we have fire drills, tornado drills, and emergency drills. We talked about the importance of listening and following directions to also stay safe. Then we switched for our regular I Time and math groups. We are finishing up our units on identifying main idea and place value/rounding. This afternoon we had SEL. We got our new spelling sorts, practiced them, and put them into our iPads. We also did Achieve3000, read to self, and Daily 5. We took an afternoon break for Adventure to Fitness, and that was interrupted by a fire drill. It will continue to be a busy week this week!

Happy Day after "Aaron Rodgers Day"! We have been so busy in room 310 and we have had so many special activities. Mrs. Benedict was absent and took the peer mediators to training one day, so we had a couple substitute teachers. In math we have continued to work on place value, rounding, estimating, and using addition, subtraction, and multiplication strategies. We also continue to work on committing our math facts to memory. In literacy, we continue to work on making connections as we read, identifying good vocabulary words, and we have been reviewing making sure we have a good fit book. We are working on writing a personal narrative, a story about something that has happened in our own lives. In addition, we continue to practice math and reading skills on ScootPad and develop as readers with Achieve3000.
