hank you for checking into what we are doing the first 7 days of school. We are currently in the process of developing an understanding and appreciation of each other, as well establishing the way that we do things in our classroom. Academically, our focus is on reviewing key concepts from second grade in order to be prepared for the third grade material. The following is a quick overview:
Team Building: Morning Meetings (greet each other with eye contact and friendly voices, games such as "Zoom"), personal scavenger hunt
Social Studies: Know Thyself (list of favorite things, Overall Me poster)
Math: games to review and solidify value of numbers and problem solving (Three Strikes: number version of hangman, 99 Card Game: each card has a value, the goal is to have the center pile total 99, Pyramid I Spy Game: cards that combine together to make 10), paperwork to evaluate each student's knowledge of math
Writing: review why people write, Mine My Heart (words/pictures of people and things that are close to our hearts), free write and write for specific purpose in journals
Reading: set up routines for our new reading series named "Wonders", begin Charlotte's Web
Art: Coencentric Pattern Circles
Science: Clay Float
Homework for the week: Bring pictures from home of things that you love (this will be used, read 15 minutes daily)
