Happy Birthday Abraham Lincoln! \u00a0Today we will talk about our 16th President. \u00a0Yesterday we made Mr. Lincoln with our third grade Buddies. \u00a0I hope you enjoy him.<\/p>\n
READING-We wind up our unit about Neighborhoods. \u00a0We will review “H \u00a0h \u00a0D d \u00a0R r” \u00a0letters and sounds and the words “Are \u00a0are \u00a0For for \u00a0You \u00a0you.” \u00a0These words have been added to their writing\/reading word wall and the students are expected to know them. \u00a0By now, they have quite a healthy list of words that they are expected to know and they are doing very well with reading and writing those words. \u00a0We also have been working with “at” \u00a0and “an” chunks. \u00a0They should be able to read words and create rhyming words with those chunks in them. \u00a0Look for these words and chunks in your daily reading with them.<\/p>\n
MATH-$$$ \u00a0Since we already know the\u00a0penny\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0nickel,\u00a0<\/strong>I am adding on\u00a0dime.<\/strong> \u00a0Practice making trades at home with money. \u00a0Start slowly…”How many pennies will you give me for this nickel?” Dimes for pennies? \u00a0Pennies for 1 dime and 1 nickel?<\/p>\n WRITING-Grammar!!! I am focusing on speaking and writing with correct grammar! \u00a0“My sister and I…” \u00a0(not “Me and my sister…”) \u00a0I have taught them how to figure out if they need to use I\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0me<\/strong>. \u00a0It takes practice. \u00a0They need to hear correctly spoken grammar in order for them to speak and write correctly themselves.<\/p>\n VALENTINE’S DAY is Friday. \u00a0The students have been telling me all about writing out names on the Valentines. \u00a0They are so excited. \u00a0Today we are making a Valentine bag.<\/p>\n ***I told the kids today that I was going to post on my blog to you that they are becoming “awesome writers!”<\/strong> \u00a0You should have seen today’s Free Writing. \u00a0Amazing sentences and they just kept on writing until I stopped them. \u00a0Super-duper stamina!<\/p>\n Have a good rest of the week. \u00a0Think Spring and have a warm (?) Mid-Winter Break.<\/p>\n Mrs. Smith<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Birthday Abraham Lincoln! \u00a0Today we will talk about our 16th President. \u00a0Yesterday we made Mr. Lincoln with our third grade Buddies. \u00a0I hope you enjoy him.
