Reading: We started learning about folk tales. We learned that folk tales are stories or legends handed down from generation to generation. They usually contain a lesson and it happened long ago. We started to read folk tales and recorded their characteristics on a chart. We focused on identifying the moral of the story and text that supported our ideas. Writing: We continued going through the writing process with our small moment stories. Students worked on drafting their introduction and including details and feelings in their stories. I modeled how to use a revising checklist to make our stories more interesting. Students worked on finishing their drafts and adding, changing, and taking out words. Word Study: Our learning goal this week was to read and spell words with "vowel teams." This is when two vowels are next to each other in a word, the first vowel says its name. Students searched for words around our room. We focused on "ai" and "ay" and noticed that "ai" is in the middle of words and "ay" is at the end. Math: Our goal this week was to create picture problems and then write an addition/subtraction story to go with it. Students enjoyed creating their picture relating to presents and choosing a math question for others to answer. We spent the following day solving each other's story problems. We discussed types of math stories (joining, separating, and comparing) and types of strategies to add numbers (using hundred chart, drawing base ten blocks). Science:
