SEPT 27TH

Reading: In modeled reading we have been starting to learn how to write and summary by looking at the parts: Beginning, Middle and End. In shared reading we worked on making our questions thicker. In guided reading we worked on nonfiction text features--mainly the titles of the Table of Contents. During independent reading the students were to write a "who, what, where, when, how, or why" question from one of their books.  Early Birds almost made 45 minutes of reading stamina.  Later Gaters did reach the 45 minute goal.

Math:  We took a test on "friends of ten" continued working on story problems and 100 chart, and we started to work on the number line.  We will continue to review and go deeper with story problems using the 100's chart.  We want the children to look for "friends of ten" in their work.

Social Studies:  We talked about the world, the continents, and the oceans.   We looked at a map of American Fork and the surrounding communities and located where it would be in Utah County and then where Utah is located on the map of the United States.

Science: We talked about how science is learning about animals, plants, earth, and space.  We learned why we study science and how people who study science make our life better.

Art:  We made shapes from nature and tried to make a painting like the artist Henri Matisse.  Look for our representation in the hall at SEP"S.

Music:  We learned our Halloween songs that we use as one of our stations during small group.
