Conference Times

In Readers' Workshop, students payed special attention to what characters say to infer ideas about their character traits.

In Writers' Workshop, we read Saturdays and Teacakes, by Lester Laminack, noticing how he used sound words to transition to ideas.  We then applied this our personal narratives.  

In Math Workshop, students explored equations, the meaning of the equal sign, and discovered expanded notation.  Students' Unit 1 Assessment results are coming home in Beaver Folders today.  Please review with your child, sign and return at your earliest convenience. 

In Social Studies, students used their schema to write from the word "leadership".  This week, we will explore ideas about leadership within our community and the different levels of government.

In Word Study, students applied their knowledge of the "CVC Rule" to sort and generate words that prescribe to this rule.  Ask your child to tell you the rule (A: If the last 3 are CVC, double the letter and add -ed).
