Happy Birthday, Mrs. G
Another Great Week in Parrot-Dise...
It's been another busy week in Rm 131...
First, Progress Reports went home yesterday. Please look over your child's papers, keep them, but send back the progress report signed on Monday. Any child that brings it back Monday gets a special treat!
In Reading, our main character in "Because of Winn Dixie" has branched out and made friends. We met an interesting character in Gloria Dump! She certainly has been misjudged. But Opal sees another side of her and shares the events of her life. We are predicting that she will become an important character in Opal's life. We also continued working on our skill of "Author's Viewpoint". Laptop Day was Friday and we worked on a Destination Success Activity on this skill. This next week we will not do a story in our reading series. We will be working on DRA's which will give us an idea of reading accuracy, fluency, and comprehension.
In Writing, we have moved on to putting sensory details in our writing. How to make a "black & white" writing become "living color"! We have a "TASTY" activity planned on Tuesday to help us truly describe our activity in writing.
In Math, we are completing our first topic and will be having our Topic Test on Monday. It will be on the Numeration skills we have been working on... Place Value, Rounding, and Comparing & Ordering Numbers.
In Science, we are culminating our Rocks, Minerals, & Weathering Unit.
We also started our RTI groups... Mrs. Gaspard is working on Math and I am working on Reading.
We celebrated a special birthday on Friday..... All the parrots want to wish Mrs. Gaspard a Happy Birthday!!!!!
