Friday Note - 3/9/18
Events of the Week: Our theme was weather. We spent the week learning about different types of weather. We also finished up all third quarter assessments.
Math: We practiced composition and decomposition with number stories to 10.
Language Workshop: Each day we focused on a different type of weather. We read various informational books as well as fiction books about weather. We conducted a few weather experiments, made some observations, and watched videos of different kinds of weather. During makerspace time, students were instructed to build a structure that they think will withstand a tornado (blow dryer). We had fun testing their structures :)
Writing Workshop: We wrote an opinion piece about our favorite kind of weather and spent time writing in our journals. Our opinion writing is hanging in the hallway. I am so proud of how well they are doing on their writing!
Reading Workshop: I have been meeting with students in their reading groups this week. We have focused on reading and using our reading strategies when getting stuck on a word. The other students worked in literacy centers practicing standards that have previously been taught.
Word Study: We reviewed sight words. I am very impressed with how well each child was able to read the sight words. Please encourage your child to work on reading and writing sight words at home. Remember, your child is expected to be able to read ALL of our sight words at the end of 4th quarter.
