Monday Monday!!!
I picked the students up bright and early at 8:15 in the gym. We got upstairs and I had the schedule on the board.
We started the day by having the students write a descriptive paragraph telling me about one thing that happened over the vacation. After they finished, we pulled the group together and I told them about my vacation and seeing my family and then I read them a picture book that a student gave me in 1996 called "Guess How Much I Love You?" It is a really cute book and it was a great way to start the new year talking about how much they mean to me and what my wish for the new year was.
We talked about state test coming up and what my wish was. My wish is simple... they are great kids and they are smart. I want them to work hard and prove it on the state test. We talked about the different ratings and what they mean. Level 1 means you "DIDN'T GET IT!" Level 2 means "You ALMOST got it!" Level 3 means "YOU GOT IT! - you are grade level" Level 4 means "YOU REALLY GOT IT!!" - you are performing above standard. I told them I expect 3's and 4's because my students are on grade level and they need to show it. That means I want them to work hard... read... think... write... ask questions.. .study... practice their multiplication facts... check their work... show me you are the kids I believe you to be!
Afterward we went into reading groups and got down to business. My group, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory pp. 91- 102. Violet ate the chewing gum and ended up a big blueberry! Good fun!
Period 2 they had dance and Mr. Nunez said they did really well.
Period 3 - We started working on a new book called "The Birchbark House". We read chapter 1 together and then they read chapter 2 independently. We then went over some questions about the chapters and discussed writing opinion pieces.
Period 4 - We finished our reading lesson and moved into reviewing Math 4.1 - 4.7.
Period 5 - Waggle Math in the library
Period 6 - Lunch
Period 7 - the kids could not get it together after lunch. They were talkative and after awhile of arguing, I started cleaning. Didn't like the way the day ended. Had a talk about expectations and that I wasn't happy with the way they ended the day. We went over homework and cleaned the room.
Homework:
Writing - Opinion with details to support it (R/W Journal 2B Lesson 1)
Literacy/Math packets due
