Our Reading Camp Out!

Our Reading Camp Out was GREAT!  The children ate s'mores and partner read using flashlights!













It was such an exciting time for our students!  The best part was that we were having fun while reading!

We also had a great time with predicates last week.  One activity that the children really enjoyed was silly sentences.  The children had to pick one subject from a list of choices from the board.  Then they had to choose two different predicates to write with their subject.  This made the children see how the predicate can change the meaning of a sentence.  Check out some of our silly sentences...











I just love these!  The children really worked hard on making these very creative!

We are also working on the solar system in science.  Last week, we learned about our sun.  We learned that the sun gives our Earth heat and light.  We learned that the sun is a big ball of hot gases. We also learned that the sun is a star.  Here is our journal entry in our science journal...









I just love, love, love these!  Aren't they awesome?

This week, we are very busy once again!  Here is a look at what the kids in room 403 will be learning...

Reading:  main idea and details
                inflected endings
                alphabetizing
Grammar:  statements and questions
Writing:  personal narratives
Math:  subtraction strategies
      Topic 3 test at the end of the week!
Science:  solar system

Please remember that homework is not to be done all in one night!  Please just do a little each night.  Please encourage your child to read to you each night!  They now have library books, and I'm encouraging the children to take AR tests every day.

I hope everyone has a fantastic week!

*Many of these activities were researched and found on the internet, including many teacher blogs and teacher pay teachers.
