We are building bigger reading muscles to read harder books. We are looking at more sight words, endings on words (ing, ed, s), blends at the beginning of words (sl, cr, fr, bl, etc.).
In math, we have been using tools, drawing pictures, and writing equations for subtraction word problems. We are learning that when we subtract, we take some away.
We continue to write every day. The students are adding so many more details to their writing. They are also adding more and more words to their writing. At this point, we are encouraging students to sound out words and write the sounds they hear. It is okay if a word is not spelled correctly. It is more important for students to use the words they want and spell them incorrectly, than to only use words they now how to spell.
Enjoy your weekend!
Here are some books we are reading:
