Hi Everyone! Happy Monday!!! Let me recap what we learned last week and what we will learn during this shortened week.
Last week in Reader's Workshop, we began our unit focused on the importance of getting to know the characters in our books. We discussed the way good readers become the characters in their books and act out what their characters are doing by thinking about the details in the book describing what characters are doing, thinking, and saying. This week we will talk about the importance of noticing when our characters' feelings change so that we can change the reading voice in our heads as well. We will also talk about the importance of reading and rereading a book many times until the story can be read smoothly.
Last week in Writing Workshop we brought in and wrote opinion pieces regarding our collections. We judged the items we brought in and chose a first place or blue ribbon winner and listed reasons to support our choice. We also enlisted the help of our classmates to help us bolster our position and even include their reasons as quotes in our pieces. This week in writing we will learn to utilize a checklist to help make our writing the best it can be and become more independent writers.
Last week in math we finished up our subtraction unit and moved on to our unit on addition and subtraction facts to 12. We learned about adding doubles, near doubles, and facts with 5 and 10 on a ten-frame. This week in the few days that we have, we will learn to use doubles addition facts to master related subtraction facts.
