Your child came home with a ton of papers on Friday. I hope you were able to sort through them to see all of the progress your child is making! It's hard to believe that we have only been in school for one month. I am so impressed with how much your child has grown as a learner already!
This past Friday we had our first mystery reader! I was thrilled to have Aidan (a former third grader and Lauren's brother!) come read to us! We are all anticipating our next mystery reader this Friday.
This week in...
Reading Workshop
We will begin our character trait study. We will read Charlotte's Web by E.B. White together to examine each character in depth. We will learn how to use textual evidence to support our thoughts on each character.
Writing Workshop
We will continue to write small moments with detail. In addition, we will learn what it means to self-assess our writing. We will note our strengths and then make goals to help us improve as writers. We will learn how to work towards reaching the goals we set.
Math
We will learn what a variable is in addition equations. We will also begin adding greater numbers using our knowledge of place value, and how drawing a picture is a strategy for problem solving.
Science
Our plants are thriving! We will learn how our plant grows, observe it's growth spurt, and learn about bees.
Dictionary Skills
We will practice putting words in alphabetical order by the second and third letters of each word. This will help us as we go to look up words using the guide words in the dictionary. We will learn the difference between guide words and entry words.
Reminder!
Picture Day is tomorrow!
George Steele Visit
On Monday we will have George Steele visit our classroom for Farm to You week. He will be talking to us about NYS Mammals.
Humphrey
If you enjoyed reading each night with your families as much as I did, and come to love that little hamster, the second book in the series is Friendship with Humphrey in case you'd like to continue reading about his adventures.
