Week Of January 14th

Posted on Jan 14, 2019

Math- We continue to use extra math to practice our math facts.  We will be starting Mad Minute 3x a week.  It is another way for them to challenge themselves to increase their math facts as the weeks go on.  We talked about, it is a challenge for yourself, not a race against the class. 

Silent Reading- “A Good Fit Book”  We have been focusing on picking a “Good Fit Book” & reading it daily for 5-6 minutes during Silent Reading.  I am so proud of the independent readers they are becoming.  I have noticed some children cannot keep their nose out of their book.  This is awesome!! The more they read the more they know.  Reading & Writing do go hand and hand!!
