In Readers' Workshop, we read The Giving Tree, by Shel Silverstein, paying close attention to what characters do (their actions) to infer ideas about them. When your child is reading at home, encourage them to identify characters' actions (doing words) and infer ideas about their character traits.
In Writers' Workshop, we read an excerpt from Wonder, by R.J. Palacio, noticing how she used inner dialogue in her writing to help us get to know August. We then applied this element of writer's craft to our personal narratives.
In Word Study, students continued their work on CVC words; either sorting, finding, or generating verbs where the last 3 letters are CVC to help them add and spell the word with the appropriate suffix.
During Read Aloud, students used our accountable talk moves to critically think about characters in The One and Only Ivan, by Katherine Applegate.
In Math Workshop, students used rounding to help them estimate ballpark sums.
In Social Studies, students used Kiddle.co, a safe internet search engine, to discover where government officials work.
