Greetings! Welcome back from the long holiday weekend. Talking with the students today, they really seemed to enjoy their weekend. I loved hearing the stories of fishing, camping, and playing baseball.
We began our day by attending Eucharistic Adoration. We spent quiet time praying to Jesus asking him to help others, help us, and help us have a good summer.
We began Language Arts by working in our literacy centers; this was the last time we will be working in them this year. The students really came to enjoy them, and I noticed a tremendous amount of growth in the fluency and comprehension development. After that, we jumped back into our week of learning. We answered questions using our sight words. We then used our letter tiles to spell and read r-controlled -air, -are, and -ear words. Next we practiced blending and reading r-controlled syllable words. We ended the morning by using our sight words and vocabulary words in sentences.
This afternoon in Language Arts we reread Share the Harvest and Give Thanks and talked about the author's purpose for writing the story. We then read our decodable reader and talked about the author's purpose for that story. Finally, we practiced using adverbs that tell how in sentences.
In Math class today we continued to work with money. We practiced counting a collection of dimes, nickels, and pennies. Then, the students had to show various money amounts using those coins. Their number sense with that truly amazed me.
Have a wonder (and dry) night!
