Important Information:
- October 8, is Columbus Day and there is no school.
- Picture Day has been rescheduled to Monday, October 15th.
- We have a number of birthdays in October. Parents are invited to come in and read a book to our class on their child's birthday. Please touch base with me about a week before so we can find a time that works. Typically, readers come at morning meeting and then can head out to start their day.
3, 2, 1 things you should know about our week...
3 reading workshop skills we focused on were determining whether a book was fiction or non-fiction, tracking our thinking WHILE reading using post-it notes to show either favorite part or new information learned, and how to BUZZ about books using a conversation bookmark to get us started.
* Ask your child which book they chose to buzz about today at the end of reading workshop.
2 math activities we worked on during 10-Minute Math at the beginning of our day was showing multiple addition and subtraction sentences to equal 14 and identifying what time it will be ____ minutes. The new Investigations program is very hands on and student focused! Math workshop is a time where students independently choose which activity to work on and when done, they move on to a different activity. All students work on the same skill, but are showing what they know in different ways. This has already helped create more independence in the classroom regarding their own learning! We are just really exploring the concepts, math workshop, and 10-Minute Math, but so far I think we're all enjoying it!
1 science activity we worked on was brainstorming words used for observation and making our own observations of a shell by writing and drawing as accurately as we can like scientists do!
