In Readers' Workshop, students learned the first book they'll be reading for Book Clubs. Ask your child what they'll be reading (Chocolate Touch, Stone Fox, Horrible Harry at Halloween, or Diamond Willow)!
In Writers' Workshop, students used "time transitions" to transition to ideas in their personal narratives. You can always encourage your child to write at home. Show them the picture below and have them use time transitions to tell the squirrels' story.
In Math Workshop, students learned another strategy to show and solve subtraction and addition problems: expanded form.
In Read Aloud, we continued reading our new text, The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate. During this Read Aloud, students all have a copy of the text in front of them; however, I am still reading aloud and modeling comprehension strategies. Students engage in dialogue about characters and plot, as we stop, think, and discuss.
In Social Studies, students identified the 3 levels of government and their respective authority figures.
In Word Study, students engaged in one of the following: an open sort, "word search" (where students search for words and categorize them into groups, or "digging for words" (creating and categorizing their own words). All of these activities work toward the CVC pattern we discovered in class.
