Reading...Give it a Shot
BHS has enrolled in the Calgary Flames reading program. Students will be bringing home tracking sheets to monitor how much they read each day. Can you please sign the spot needed if they are reading at home?
When your child reads 30 minutes they will earn one reading card. I have sent home a green folder with the sheet to track your minutes! Once they collect all 24, they can move onto the bonus card collection of Harvey the Hound doing funny things! The reading competition started Monday, January 18th and ends March 26th. Teachers will be tracking totals in order to hopefully win a virtual visit from the Calgary Flames. The more they read… the more chance we have of the Calgary Flames visiting our school virtually!
Thank you for your support and work with encouraging your child to read!
Go Flames Go!
Today in room 5:
We began our day with a short catch up, read to self, and free write time. This gave me some time to work with my my reading groups on specific skills.
After our morning meeting we had a quick snack before working on our next printing letter. We covered the letter I today! We talk about the different sound it can make and words that have an I or i. Next, students had to write a sentence using their wow words and a letter I word.
After recess on the playground we moved into some math. Yesterday we applied our knowledge of place value, addition and blocks towards solving double digit addition questions. We broke down how to regroup our ones into the tens when adding numbers together. If you would like some extra practice there is some questions below!
In the afternoon we moved right into literacy centers!
Below is an example of how centers are organized.
Students are grouped together based off their reading and writing needs in shapes.
