What We Are Learning
Reading: We now have our
guided reading and Daily 5 literacy block up and running! Students are split up according to their
independent reading levels. While
reading in small groups, your child will work on specific comprehension,
accuracy, and fluency strategies. As a whole class, we worked on using our schema (what we already know) to
help us understand what we read.
Writing: This
week we wrapped up our narrative writing unit.
We focused on editing our stories to find errors in capital letters,
punctuation, and spelling. Ask your
child about our writing celebration!
Math: We finished our unit on adding and subtraction numbers
within 10. I am super proud of the progress students have made! Tell your child
to keep up the good work!
