After each child wrote Rams or Patriots on a paper football and posted it to our bar graph it is evident the class is clearly supporting a past Tritt Tiger, coach Sean McVay. The Rams were an overwhelming favorite. We'll see tonight how the newbies hang in there. What I hope for the most is that I don't hear any student tell me in the morning they got to stay up and watch the entire game! Ha!
The penguins are fabulous and are on display in the media center if you visit Tritt this week. They will come home on Friday. The use of recycled materials was creative and our class loved sharing them with our STEAM buddies on Friday. Then our buddies read us the informational books they wrote about penguins. Check out those pictures on SeeSaw. QUESTIONS TO ASK: What is point of view? Why do we take time to consider it when reading? What recycled item do you think showed the most creative use on a classmate's penguin? What are 7x7, 7x8, 7x9, and 7x10? If each student has been mastering each table as we've progressed - those are the only new facts they need to learn over the next 2 weeks. We will add the 8s, 9s, and 10s after break - adding one each week. Fluency of the facts is a standard assessed in 4th quarter and they will be ready if they are keeping up each week! REMEMBER: *There is no parent journal this week. * We will exchange Valentine's on WEDNESDAY, FEB. 13 due to Target being out on the 14th. A class list was sent home last week. * Picture day is Feb. 14 (Target students will come back to our class for this). EVEN if your child isn't buying an individual photo we will TAKE OUR CLASS PICTURE that day. *Return the green permission slip sent home by the guidance counselors if you haven't already. Thanks! NEXT WEEK: Math - It's time! Students will learn/practice telling time to the minute. 7's are added to the expectations for multiplication fact fluency. Language Arts - Students will practice the following strategy - Readers purposefully and spontaneously ask question before, during, and after reading. They will also see if their questions can be answered in the text, if they need to infer the answer from clues in the text, or research an outside source. Identifying their questions will give them insight into if their questions are ones that are making them think! In writing students have picked a final topic, supported it with 3 reasons, and are now adding details/examples to elaborate on those reasons. The writing time will be split between working on their opinion piece and learning to write a response to a reading question. Science - We will continue to travel across the regions of GA learning about each habitat's animals and plants - and what adaptations make it possible for them to thrive there. The students will also enjoy a speaker for Exceptional Children's Week and a lesson with Mrs. Grindstaff. Have a great week!
