In Reading workshop this week we are studying Poetry. We will be learning about different types of Poetry and writing our own poetry as well! Take Home readers will come home Monday- Thursday.

In Writing Workshop we packed up our Launching Writing Workshop Folders and sent them home to share with our families. Some of the students asked it they could continue to work on stories at home. That would be fabulous! Our new unit on Small Moments began this week. We will focus on a short amount of time and write, in detail, about our experiences.

In Word Work our sound is long i. The long i sound is spelled i as in bike. (silent e at the end)
Sight word Vocabulary: of, has, for, want, little

In Math we are continuing our unit on Learning Strategies for mastering basic facts. Our skill this week is counting on 2. We will be working in math stations and solving math problems using this strategy.

In Social Studies we are learning about maps and globes during our unit on My Community. We will be learning about cardinal directions, reading a map and using a map key.

Have a great week!
