This week in Writing Workshop...

We will discuss the expectations for Writing Workshop.  We will also talk about how authors come up with ideas to write about.  The students will fill out a heart map to help them if they get stuck and can’t think of a topic.  We will begin writing about personal experiences.

This week in Math...

We will learn about bar graphs and collecting data.  We will record the data we collect on a graph and answer questions about it.
