Writing:
We learned more about how to get ideas about writing stories. One strategy we learned was to take a small moment from the real world and make it into a story. This strategy (and others) helped us write begin to write realistic fiction stories. We learned to reread our writing to make sure it makes sense.
Reading:
We set reading goals, and we made a plan to meet our goals. We started our first reading unit. We focused on picking out realistic fiction stories on our own.
Math:
We wrapped up learning how to work together in our math workshop. We learned place value games, and we will officially start learning place value next week. We also logged onto our math websites this week: Dreambox, Zearn, and Prodigy. Prodigy is our favorite!
Inquiry:
We started our inquiry unit this week. We talked about values. We discussed our values as a whole class and our own personal values. We set up inquiry buddies, too. We are excited to dive into this unit more!
Other:
In other news, our fish passed away this week. We are sad to lose America, but we will be getting a new fish next week. Overall, we had a fun week! We even got to start using all of our flexible seating items.
