We were excited this morning to tell about all that we did during our snow day on Wednesday! During morning meeting, many students had a chance to share their adventures. After morning meeting, we took a Spelling pretest on words with the long u sound. After that it was time to continue learning about Chinese New Year. We read a Weekly Reader about Chinese New Year and wrote facts that we learned from the many sources we looked at. Next it was time for reading groups. Mrs. Peckmann met with the Magazines and Internet groups. Each group completed a Wordle brainstorm before we began our new book. You can view the Wordles using the links on Mrs. Peckmann's teacher page. Each group also made predictions for their new books. In math today we reviewed adding large numbers without regrouping. We practiced with manipulatives on a work mat and also by writing equations. We learned that we ALWAYS start at the ones and work from right to left (opposite of the way that we read!). After math we had Phys. Ed. We learned a new game in Phys. Ed. today. Ask me about it! At the end of the day we made our new spelling lists and sorted words with different long u spelling patterns. Our homework tonight is Spelling. Tomorrow is Day 2. We do not have a Special. Lunch tomorrow is a bag lunch: Ham and Cheese or Turkey and Cheese sandwich.
