Reading Workshop
This week during reading workshop we began working on fiction story structures with Miss. Werner. We read several stories including A Bad Case of Stripes and A Fine School. In addition to this, we worked on understanding the plot in stories and also practicing sequencing stories. All of these skills will help us understand what we are reading better. Next week we will work on drawing conclusions using clues.
* We will visit the library on Friday this week.
Writing Workshop
Wow, we have been very busy writers! This week we practiced revising and editing with peers. We worked on asking questions and giving specifics to help our friends revise their writing. In addition to this, we worked on constructing complete sentences. Next week we will choose one of our pieces to publish. We are hoping that we can share these with all of you soon. We will then move into our personal narrative writing unit.

Math Workshop
During our math workshop this week we worked on continuing to build our routines and practicing thinking like a mathematician. In addition to this, we practiced subtraction with borrowing, using the number grid to subtract, writing equivalent names for numbers, and had an introduction on the language of chance. Wow! That was a lot in one week. We will continue to practice and build these skills next week.

Me Museum
Once we visited each other's museum, we took our items and created a virtual museum for all to enjoy. Here is a sneak peek of it. We will finish this, this week. We still have a few students who need to add their items to our museum. Thanks for all of your help with this last week.
