Seventh Week of School

This was a busy week reviewing many reading comprehension strategies on our FACE of a reader wall.  We added looking at the punctuation marks to our fluency section.  We had a great OREO day on Monday and another butterfly hatched named Sweet Pea.  We had another hatch later in the week which we thought was a girl and named her Mrs. Thunderbolt which later had to change to Lightningbolt once we found out he was not a girl after all.  During writing time we learned how to pump up our stories with names and numbers to make it more interesting. In math we worked all week doing subtraction facts.  We learned about counting back, what happens when we subtract all or zero and we learned how the doubles addition facts can also help us with subtraction.  We studied a little more about trees and leaves to prepare for our field trip Wednesday.  It looks like it will be wonderful weather. We ended the week with a pep session in the high school gym for the whole school where we cheered on the Starfires!
