Readers’ Workshop: This week we learned that Good Readers:
- make a resolution to get stronger in reading
- know how to pick a just right book
- warm up before they read by taking a picture walk and thinking about the story
- make sure that the reading sounds right and makes sense
- look for patterns in their book
Writers’ Workshop: This week we learned that Good Writers:
- finish the incomplete pieces in their writing folder
- share their favorite writing with their buddy
- make a resolution to get stronger at writing
Math: We are finishing up our unit on measurement. We learned about standard (inch) and non-standard measurement (cubes, blocks, links, etc.), weight, capacity, and order.
Social Studies: We read about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and discussed his importance. We also finished up our unit on shelters & homes.
Today we had our first lockdown/code blue drill. This is when we sit quietly in the classroom; away from windows and doors until the drill is over. We talked about the drill during morning meeting, and then the students practiced it during Art with Mrs. Kawaii.
Have a great weekend!
