During Writing Workshop we learned that good writers...
- Begin a sentence with a capital letter and end a sentence with a period.
- Leave a "finger" space between their words.
- Write across many pages.
- Draw/color pictures that match their words.
During Reading Workshop we learned that good writers...
- Use all their superpowers to grow as readers.
- Read their books more than once...sometimes even two or three times!
- Talk about reading with their buddy, and help each other solve tricky words.
Our Shared Reading was a poem titled Snowball. We practiced reading the poem with excitement and expression! We also looked for all of the words that we know.
Sight Words - new class words are he, she, with, what, that. Individual sight words were sent home yesterday. Please practice finding your child's sight words in his/her just right books!
***I hope you and your child are enjoying the books that are being sent home! When your child has read his/her books several times with ease, please return them to school for new books!
During Math we continued working on our new Cathy Fosnot unit - Apple Boxes. We investigated the number of unique combinations for five apples of two kinds, green and red, and recorded the combinations for a grocer who is confused about the number of arrangements.
Social Studies - We completed a Second Steps lesson on feelings. We practiced noticing how a person feels by looking at the facial expression and body language. We continued to discuss how we can be kind and respectful friends! We also talked about needs vs. wants - there are certain things we need to survive like: air, water, healthy foods, shelter, clothing.
