Today in writing, we reviewed verbs and created a class verb book.  We read Slide, Slurp, Scratch, and Burp which is a book about verbs.  We also made a focus web on pets and wrote a story together about a time a dog tore up the inside of a house.  We really focused on adding details and good words.  In math, we practiced putting numbers in order using a number line.  Our vocabulary words that we worked on in math were number line, between, before, and after.  We began a unit in social studies about our country.  We watched a quick Brainpop video about US symbols.  Students also received a Scholastic News article titled Our Flag.  They are to read this tonight and record it on their reading logs.  Make sure to study your spelling words tonight for a test tomorrow.
