We had a great Monday!
Thank you for all of the sweets and treats! I feel very spoiled! I
appreciate it.
We worked with money
today. We played money bingo. Then we used real coins and answered
questions about certain coins. I put 6 of each: quarter, dime,
nickel, and penny. Then we wrote amounts for given question.
Example: What is the value of the quarters? Then we took turns
drawing coins out of the sack. I wrote them on the board (ex. 3 q,
2 d) and they had to write the amount.
In reading we read some more
in our Boxcar Children book. They need to read chapter 9 tonight.
We will finish the book tomorrow. We also worked on Poetry Ringo.
We wrote stories today.
First we had to choose a scene from 4 choices. (I had them run
already.) They were all outdoor scenes. Then they chose characters
and objects from another page. After they had the scene the way
they wanted it, they wrote a story to go along with it.
We are not doing spelling
anymore. We will continue to work on vocabulary and usage, but no more
spelling lists for the year. They enjoyed that announcement.
