This week in Reading Workshop...

We will continue setting up Reading Workshop in the classroom.  As a class, we will discuss the expectations of Read to Self (independent reading), and we will begin building our stamina. We will also learn how to get the teacher’s attention if she is in a reading conference with a student or a small group.

This week in Writing Workshop...

We will continue to discuss the expectations for Writing Workshop.  We will begin learning how we can be independent writers during our writing workshop time. We will begin writing about personal experiences.

This week in Math...

We will learn about representing numbers in different ways.  We will think about how we can look at an arrangement of objects and find patterns to help us know what the number is without counting.  This is going to get our brains ready to look for patterns in numbers later on in the year.

This week in Science...

We will begin thinking about what it means to be a scientist.  We will discuss different types of scientists and think about different things a scientist might do.  We will also think about different tools a scientist might use.

Have a great week!
