No school for students on Monday, October 14th.
Thank you to all of our book fair volunteers!
During Reading Workshop we learned that...
- Readers go back and re-read or retell when they get confused.
- Readers name the character and their actions.
- Readers use the words that the author used to retell the story.
- Readers retell the story to their buddy when they get confused.
- Writers return to unfinished work!
- Writers point to each word and re-read their story.
- Writers add labels to their pictures so it is easier to read.
- Writers add pages to their story.
- Writers take out the parts that don't fit and check in with their buddy.
- We can sort students based on certain attributes - laces/no laces, short sleeve shirts/long sleeve shirts.
- We can tell a lot about our friends from Today's Question - Do you like spaghetti?
- We can record our thinking differently at the Counting Jar center.
- We can name and finish repeating patterns!
Social Studies/Science - We continued exploring our 5 senses and discussed Christopher Columbus. Our 2nd Steps lesson focused on using strategies when we miss directions in class - ask a friend, ask the teacher, look at what other students are doing, think back and focus on what was said.
