February 17th

I hope that everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day!  Our Valentine's party went very well.  The students really enjoyed the strawberry shortcake and whip cream!

IN writing, we have been focusing on rereading our own writing to make sure that it is readable for our writing partners.  After the student has read their own writing, they will meet with their writing partner.  The writing partner will read the story as the writer reads along.  Together they will make any corrections that they need to make.  We will continue to do this process whenever we fancy up a piece of writing!

Math:  We finished up unit 7, which was mainly about collecting data and then analysing the data.  The students really enjoy activities like these because it is hands on and it is something that they will eventually use in the real world.

Reading:  We have been learning what a topic, main idea and details are.  This week we have continued to review compound words.
We have also learned about irregular nouns such as child -->children, tooth-->teeth.  This is sometimes hard to remember, but this will help student with speaking as well as spelling.

Have a great weekend!
