Unit 1 Assessment Next Week

In Readers' Workshop, students are learning that "reading is thinking"; when we think about what we read, we're less likely to get bored, abandon books, etc..  The anchor chart below lists a few of our strategies that help us think while we read.  Encourage your child to use these at home!

In Writers' Workshop, we used "time chunks" to plan and order ideas for our personal narratives.

In Social Studies, students acted out possible scenarios, and acted as police officers, using Maryland's Bicycle laws to decide when laws had been broken. 

Students will have their Unit 1 Math Assessment Wednesday, October 7.  We will spend time reviewing in class, and I will also send home a review next week.

In Word Study, students engaged in an "open sort" where they grouped words based on their meanings.  In doing so, students discovered and explained the meaning of "discouraged".
