The 3rd marking period ended today. Progress reports will be sent home on Friday, April 13 for the purpose of reporting attendance. Conferences replace traditional grading this quarter.
Here is a glimpse into our week in the fish class:
Readers' Workshop: The children have been working on their book talking skills in partnerships this week. We have been discussing characters and how they are feeling. Some children are making connections to a time they have felt the same way their characters were feeling. Our readers are also recommending books to their peers. It is wonderful to see the children reading books that can help develop comprehension skills!
Writers' Workshop: Our authors are wrapping up our Narrative unit. They chose the piece they would like to edit/fancy up next week. Our next unit of study will be informational writing. We will focus on "How To" books. The children will get the opportunity to write books that teach others how to do something they are good at.
Math Workshop: We are have been playing lots of addition dice game this week focusing on taking the larger number and counting on.
Handwriting: The children did a rabbit draw along and made collage kites to get us ready for spring.
