Here are a few things we were up to last week!
In week 8, we were introduced to lots of new math concepts. We worked a bunch with word problems and how to label our counts. We should always label our counts so people know what we are talking about.
We have learned 3 of our Daily 5 centers. Each child does Read to Self, Read to Someone and Work on Writing each day! This is a great time to practice our reading and writing. We can all agree that Read to Someone is our favorite so far. It has been so fun reading with your child during their reading groups. This is a great time for me to work with your child on specific skills that they need!
We are still writing small moment stories. During week 8 (last week), we talked about zooming in on "seed sized" stories instead of writing about watermelon stories. We did this activity as a class which was really helpful. Please help your child think about seed (small moment) stories that they can write about during writer's workshop.

We are learning reading strategies to help us find our unknown words. Last week, we learned to check the pictures and see if it makes sense. Also, we have learned to get our lips ready and say the beginning out and end sound.

We were able to go out and observe our tree in the outdoor classroom. Students each got a tree observation notebook. We will go out to the outdoor classroom throughout the year to observe this tree and see how it changes throughout the seasons! We were able to write and draw about the tree.
On Friday, we had a fun celebration where we had a camping day. You student enjoyed wearing their pajamas and bringing a blanket to school. We were able to relax and read in the dark with our flashlights.
