Talkative Tuesday

Our second day of breakfast in the classroom was a success.  Parents, the breakfast in the classroom is for eating the school provided breakfast.  It is not to bring in breakfast and eat in the classroom.  If your child wants to participate in the program, they have to eat the breakfast provided.  Thank you!

• 1st / 2nd - Literacy
• The first 15/20 minutes was breakfast in the classroom.  During that time I read a read aloud to the class.  As the book finished so did breakfast.  Students were tasked at independently reading while we quizzed on the test for the book we read aloud.  That way they got AR points and quiet AR time.  
• Next we did ReadyGen Lesson 2B.6.  The focus was using illustrations to understand the text, and asking and answering questions to understand the text.  After reading and discussing today's reading selections, students worked on adding illustrations and captions to their non-fiction paragraph they are working on that matches up with our science unit.
• 3rd/4th - Math
• Math was rough today.  It was like our students had magically been replaced by zombies. Not sure what happened, but we worked our way through the lesson.  We checked last night's homework and addressed  any misunderstandings that were brought forward.  Then Mrs. Avalos did number talks with the students as I collected and organized homework.  After the problem of the day, we moved to the GoMath Lesson 7.10.
• Mr. Burger walked them through reading, analyzing, and working a multi-step problem where they actually had to work backwards.  Rebekah Rabbit gave them help unlocking two problems that would be similar to the problems in their book.  Then I went over the two unlock the problems with the whole class before assigning them their practice for the day.
• 5th - Lunch
• 6th - Science (Mrs. Galan is absent)
• 7th - Science
• Finish reviewing by doing section 2 review from the text.  Discuss what might be on the test tomorrow. Finish by doing Ground Hogs Day coloring activity.
