Greetings!
Here is a glimpse into our week in the fish class:
Readers' Workshop: This week we learned about quotation marks and practiced using character voices when re-reading a familiar book. The students are using their book talk power when in partnerships. They practiced introducing their books to their partner before reading it together. We are also working on retelling a story to help with developing comprehension skills.

Writers' Workshop: We did a lot of work with writing partnerships this week. We are encouraging increased independence. The children used their new writing partners to help them hear even more sounds in words. Partners also told each other what to do to make a story even easier to read. (Adding details to pictures was a popular editing suggestion!)
Literacy Centers: This week we did some work with our sight/snap word up. The children created some class books and practiced writing k and y in their handwriting journals.
Math Workshop: This week has been all about the number 100! The children counted (while exercising) to 100, stamped to 100, completed a 100 piece puzzle, and sang a 100 Day song. We played a roll and record math game where the children find, record and analyze sums of dice rolls (K.OA.2 solves number storied and problems involving addition and subtraction.) We found shapes in a picture of a playground as a review of the basic shapes and continue to work on teen numbers. This week we emphasized the concept of teens being "ten and some more ones."
