Today we read Eric Carle's book 10 Little Rubber Ducks (one of my favorites!) and rewrote the story as a class. We all illustrated a page of our book and then displayed the book in the hallway. Stop down and check it out if you get a chance!
In math, we practiced simple addition with ducks. We also practiced drawing a picture to solve a problem. Our question in our math journal today was "How many legs do the 3 Billy Goats Gruff have all together?" You can come up with other questions like this at home to practice problem solving skills with your child.
In the afternoon, some students practiced reading and writing with Mrs. Casaz and the rest of the class began new stories with me. I am excited to spend some time on our new stories focusing on coming up with interesting ideas, organizing our stories, adding details, and then doing a great copy and publishing it for the class! Writing stories at home is another great way for your child to practice many of the things we learn at school (ideas, handwriting, spelling, conventions, organization, drawing and coloring, sounding out words, etc.).
DON'T FORGET to sign up for summer school! There are many fun classes offered this summer if your child is looking for something fun to do over break!
