We have had a great few first few weeks. Routines are beginning to form and they are making everyone's lives easier. Students are learning that expectations are expremely high in our classroom in preparation for the real world. This is a great group of students will be learn to challege each other in safe and approriate manners.
We have begun to study digestion in science and soon will begin hands on lessons to test what happens in our bodies. During our first unit of reading, we began thinking about predicting and using prefixes and suffixes to understand the meanings of words. As for our writing curriculum, we are practicing the ability to write for longer periods of time by practicing in short increments to build our stamina. Our students have also practiced storying with friends about different topics to practice using details to enhance a story.
I look forward to sharing more with you soon. Please let me know if there is anything that you have questions, comments, or concerns about. Thanks for all of the support thus far!!
