Early Dismissal Tomorrow

In Readers' Workshop, students learned that the same way we have yearly check-ups for our body, readers use "check-ins" to ensure we're comprehending.  To do this, we put a sticky note at the bottom of our page.  Then once we get to that sticky, we paraphrase, or say what the page said in our own words, to make sure we understand what we read.

In Writers' Workshop, we again worked on building our stamina by writing from a word for 20 whole minutes!  Ask your child what word they wrote about (A: crayon).  What ideas came from crayon?

In Math Workshop, we noticed patterns to come to understanding about addition and subtraction.

In Word Study, we explored the word "respect".  Ask your child for an example of someone who is respectful.
