Reading Workshop
All of our Fountas & Pinnell individual testing has been completed. This is a leveling activity done by classroom teachers and Title One teachers to work with students and determine their instructional reading level. We've enjoyed chatting with students about the stories they've read and listening to their thoughts about the texts.
Writing Workshop
Publishing will happen in a number of forms on this project. Some students will write their final draft on lined paper, some are choosing to put theirs into book form and add illustrations! It'll be fun to see how they all turn out.
Math
We are wrapping up Unit 1. Students have taken the assessment, we are reteaching and working on reflections. They will have some time on Monday and Tuesday to make corrections and complete the goal-setting sheet for these skills.
Unit 2 is RELATING MULTIPLICATION AND DIVISION. Yep, that means more math facts! If your child does not have them memorized, PLEASE please work with them as often as possible. Use the math you do in every day situations (at the grocery store, for example) to help with this skill. Find info on the district website. We'll be working on multiplication and division basically at the same time - think of fact families: if you know 4x6=24 and 6x4=24, then you know that 24/6=4 and 24/4=6.
