Before the Break We...
- Explored how word detectives find parts of big words that they know in Reading Workshop. We also learned how not to be tripped up when vowels change their sounds.
- Applied our knowledge of 2d shapes, word problems and decomposing numbers in Math Workshop.
- Used ediitng and revising checklists to put a shine on our writing and make our stories unique in Writing Workshop. We then shared our small moments during our Writing Workshop Publishing Party (see pictures in the gallery below).
- Explored a range of real world and fictional maps in our Integrated Unit. Some Maples used their work time to create maps of their own.
Next Week We Will
- Explore strategies for counting on from large numbers.
- Make movements for skip counting.
- Build up our writing by using a mentor author.
- Take a close look at the new books in our classroom library.
