Happy birthday Isabella!!!!
In the Classroom
Readers Workshop - This week, readers will learn more about how to read and analyze a text to gain more meaning and deepen understanding.
Writers Workshop - We have begun the work of our first writing unit, realistic fiction. Writers defined the genre last week by reading and discussing a few mentor texts. This week we will begin choosing story ideas and mapping our own realistic fiction pieces.
Math - We will begin using the iPads this week as we implement the new technology component of Everyday Math. Our focus this week will be on reviewing subtraction strategies and units of measurement.
Science - Our scientists now have a basic understanding of living and nonliving things as well as how they live together in communities and ecosystems. This week, we will focus on how living and nonliving things depend on one another to survive.
Word Work - This week, students will begin word sorts in the classroom. We will use word sorts throughout the year to differentiate learning based on each student's individualized needs in the area of word work. Students will practice sorts at school.
Classroom Visit
This Thursday, we will have our first visit from the fire department. Periodically throughout the year, we receive special visits through which students are introduced to basic fire safety and emergency response. We are thankful to have the opportunity and look forward to their visits. ]McTeacher Night
