Reading
Writing
This week, students began immersion into Realistic Fiction by listening to stories from this genre. We studied what is character looks like on the outside and what they might be like on the inside. We discussed author's crafts and made planning strategies. Lastly, we each made our Tiny Ideas Notebook and wrote down at least 1 idea for our first story.
Math
Next week we will begin 2 digit addition.
