Social Studies: We continued with our Teamwork Unit. We discussed the role of leaders on a team and what happens when they do not do their job correctly.
Math: My apologies! In my last post, I said students would be taking the Chapter 1 assessment, but obviously I forgot we were off from school on Thursday. With that being said, we will review for the Chapter 1 assessment on Monday and Tuesday and students will take the test on Wednesday. Be on the lookout for the Chapter 2 home/school connection in your child's homework folder.
Reader's Workshop: I am still getting to know your child as a reader through our benchmark assessments, but one thing is for sure, we have a room full of students that love to read!
Shared Reading: We have been reading a book called Miss Nelson is Missing. We have been practicing making connections, rereading to uncover new information, and responding to literature using writing.
Word Work: Students were introduced to and practice the following sorts: 1. Written Sort 2. Blind Sort 3. Speed Sort 4. Glued Sort. Next week, we will begin our word work rotations.
Writing: This week in writing, we learned that good writers edit their pieces for punctuation and capitalization. We practiced together and then students practiced editing their own pieces. I still LOVE hearing the kids complain when I announce that our writing block is over! :)
Daily 5/Guided Reading:
All 5 of our Daily 5 centers are up and running smoothly. Next week will be our last week of benchmark assessments before our guided reading groups start.
