This morning in SWR we worked more with our three (3!) short "u" families. This is very challenging because now we have to listen for the ending of the word as well as the beginning and middle. We had a 28 point sentence, too. We did a pretty good job, but we are still forgetting our ending marks occasionally Our red word, could, is still challenging for us- we always forget the u!
We took our Unit 5 assessment today in math. We do this in small groups so math took a little longer than usual today. We all did a great job working quietly at our centers while our friends worked hard on the assessment.
In reading we took 5 minutes to read our poems to a partner. We decided that doing a Wednesday poem "check-in" was a great idea and an excellent way to practice our poems at school. I was so impressed with how much the first graders have (obviously) been practicing!
We met in our reading groups to discuss our books and practice our sight words. We have been practicing reading with expression and paying attention to commas and periods because they tell us how long to pause before reading on.
n science today we examined how liquid moves in a bottle when it goes from standing upright to laying on its side. We colored in our own bottles to match the liquid bottle at different points during its fall and recorded how the liquid looked. We are really starting to know the properties of liquids and solids!
