Parent Permissions Form

Coming home in students' Beaver Folders today is the Parent Permissions Form.  We just received these today, and they are due back tomorrow.  Please be sure to go through your child's folder and return.  Again, I thank you for your time and cooperation regarding start of school paperwork.

In Readers' Workshop, students learned how to preview books the same way we preview movies.  We use these previewing strategies to help us find a "just right" book that we can stick with!

In Writers' Workshop, students learned how to use the heart map to help them generate writing ideas. These were cute! Take a look below.

In Math Workshop, students used base ten blocks to defend their mathematical claims about values.  Students then visited four stations (one of which is me).  At stations, students engage in tasks or play purposeful games to apply, reinforce, and extend math concepts.

In Read Aloud, students used setting to infer ideas about who characters are on the inside; i.e., character traits.  Ask your child which "voice" they'd want to be friends with; have them defend their thinking using evidence from the text and illustrations.
