Homework
This week I am asking students to continue to read for 30 minutes each night. We are also decorating writing notebooks on Friday- please send students in with pictures that inspire them as writers (people, places, things).
Curriculum
Reading- This week we are focusing on establishing reading routines such as:
- What the environment should feel like
- What tools/materials do we need
- How to find a "just right" book
- How to set goals
Writing- This week we are building tools that will inspire us to write stories. We are also decorating writing notebooks on Friday- please send students in with pictures that inspire them as writers (people, places, things). We are also annotating strong writing noticed in a student mentor text and are marking up things we love with the help of our Narrative Writing Rubric.
Math- We are reviewing the various ways we can represent numbers (standard, expanded, written, pictures) as well as place value. We are also taking final preassessments.
Social Studies- We are applying for jobs in our own class community. We are also started to look at map reading skills such as identifying bodies of water and continents.
