Connections!

In Writers' Workshop, students identified time and place of their settings to start planning their personal narratives, in their text maps.

In Readers' Workshop, students continue learning and applying comprehension strategies; we use sticky notes as a vessel for these strategies.  Encourage your child to use stickies at home the same way we do at school! Our new strategy is: I can use sticky notes to make and explain connections (see some samples below).

In Word Study, students played a vocabulary game using all of our Tier II words so far.  Students used synonyms and antonyms to define and explain words' meanings.  Ask your child our fastest time yet.

In Math Workshop, students used spatial reasoning to make mathematical claims about rounding to the nearest ten and the nearest hundred.
