In Reader's Workshop...
We began working with new groups and are bringing home books that are on our instructional/frustrational levels. Please see the sticky note or book mark for Take home reader assignments.



In Writer's Workshop...
During writer's workshop we are working on revising and editing our work with the help of our partners.


In Word Work...
We are studying compound words this week.

Words: airplane, cupcake, cowboy, jellyfish, tiptoe, backpack, rainbow


Challenge: Plants, root



In Math...
We will continue to discuss probability. We are focusing on the use of vocabulary such as certain, impossible, more likely, less likely.




In Science...

We are beginning our unit on Plants. We will start by learning about seeds. Please send a seed/seeds with your child by Thursday. Please put them in a plastic baggie and label them. Also, have your child brainstorm what kind of seed to bring. I prefer that the students bring a seed/seeds from something you have at home, a fruit, a veggie, from outside (acorn). Be creative!!





Have a great week!

Mrs. Caballero
