Falling into Learning

 

Good Morning, we had another fantastic week of learning in Room 232.

Our weeks are just flying by.  Take a look at what we did throughout the week of September 22nd.

Monday:

We began a new week of Wonders.  The children collaborated and worked on completing assignments.  We worked on Subjects and Predicates and finished up the chapter/unit on Place Value.  

The children work together after my whole group instruction  It is great to see them collaborate together and help one another out.  

In Math once the lesson was done, they were left to do the On Their Own part with help from our resource teacher and myself.

Tuesday:

The children are continuing  with their Personal Narrative stories.  We watched a video on drafts and then they put all their ideas down to begin their actual narrative.  It was wonderful to see them help one another out and give advice on what to write next.  The conversations throughout the room were amazing to listen to.  

The children give each other a hand, share their ideas and work nicely together at any given time during the day.  It is so great to watch them help one another and ask questions when they either missed something or need to copy notes from one another.

Wednesday:

This was our first indoor recess due to the rain we got.  The children played games or drew while we had recess time.  It was great to watch them as they played together and watching all the friendly competition made me happy.

We also began our review of Unit 2 in Math.  They reviewed vocabulary and skills throughout the chapter.

Our i-Ready data wall is ready to start tracking the results from their diagnostic assessment.

Thursday:

We continued with our week ´ s curriculum and stayed on top of our daily assignments. (No pictures here because we were so involved with instruction time).  The children continued with personal narratives and we had discussions about their first Star Conference Time which took place on Friday.

Friday:

We held our first Student of the Month virtual assembly.  It was great to hear the excitement of the children waiting for them to see who it would be.  Mr. Pacitto held the assembly right after our morning announcements.  

The rest of our day was conferencing with the individual students.  We discussed their i-Ready scores and they set goals for the month of October.  We also talked about where they could make improvements in i-Ready.  

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and enjoy some great family quality time.  

For anyone who made it out to the first Back to School Bash, I hope you enjoyed the night.  It looked like there were lots of fun events and activities planned.
