Happy New Year!  I hope everyone stayed warm this week.

During Reading Workshop we are a class of reading teachers!

• Readers use all of their superpowers!
• Look for chunks (smaller words that they know inside larger words).
• Check the picture to word solve.
• Work with a buddy to solve tricky words.

During Writing Workshop we began How To Books!

• Writer's write teaching books.
• Make a list of things they know how to do REALLY well.
• Plan and act out their steps!
• Write together - we made a class book How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich.

During Math Workshop we began a new Unit - Bunk Beds.  We read a story about a sleepover and students used the math rack to make different combinations of numbers within 8.


Science/Social Studies - We began talking about the different seasons and winter holidays.
