We had a busy day!  We started our day with a biography about Joe Biden, written by his wife Jill Biden.  The book is called Joey, and it tells stories about Biden's childhood and a little about his life as an adult, and the experiences that led to him becoming a leader.  This book had many clear examples of how even as a young person, you can begin the skills necessary to become a leader, which fits perfectly with our Social Studies curriculum right now.  Ask me to tell you about what I learned about Joe Biden!
In reading, we listened to another version of Goldilocks and the Three Bears written by Steven Kellogg.  This book has more details than the version we read several times in Benchmark.  We practiced asking and answering who, what and where questions, as well as answering these questions too.  We reviewed red words we already have studied, and introduced two new words, had and can.  Ask me to sing you our three letter word song with the words had and can.  The song we sing is to the tune of "Here We Go 'Round the Mulberry Bush."  The words go like this:
We can spell can
C-A-N
C-A-N
C-A-N
We can spell can
C-A-N,
We can spell can.
We also began working with /t/.  The children continue to work hard going through the Orton Gillingham routines.  We are working hard to move more quickly through the drills, which is an important part of this program.  
In math, we began our lesson with a fluency drill of making five.  The children were presented with groups of dots and had to draw more to make five.  They needed to do this quickly.  They did a great job and were very quick!
We started a short geometry unit. We will be learning about flat and solid shapes.  Today we sorted shapes that had either curved or straight lines.  We will be building vocabulary necessary to talk about the shapes so the students are able to talk about the characteristics of the shapes, and not just name the shapes.

Have a nice evening!
