Reading: Last week the children were each given the DRA test. Every child made 1/2 years growth or more. I encourage parents to work on the Fry Phrase list at homes. Every child who has passed off their Fry Phrases Words Per Minute were at the end of 2nd grade Benchmark. We also worked on naming 3 things about the characters we were reading about and making predictions.
We are starting to do a phonic chant in hopes to be able to look at words and be able to pronounce them without having to stop and decode them.
Math: We took the money test. Wow! There was great progress!
Social Studies/Science: We looked at the temperature of different cities around the world. We paid extra attention to the continents above and below the equator. North of the equator were the coldest. South of the equator were the warmest.
Art: We started an art project that looks like an optical illusion. We worked on drawing straight lines and becoming familiar with different shapes.
