Literacy
We have been working hard to accomplish our goals in Daily 5 and Writer's Workshop. This week we have introduced two new center options in Daily 5. For word work, students wrote words off of the word wall and then stamped them. It was a big hit! For work on writing, students can now write a letter, write a card or write a list. It's another big hit! Don't be surprised if you receive a letter or a card soon!
Differentiation
Our classroom is full of diverse learners.I believe that it is really important that all students receive appropriate and engaging learning experiences. In order to do this, I have differentiated activities and tasks in the classroom. Also, I understand that students learn in different ways and therefore I differentiate methods of instruction.
Number Stories
Today, students created his/her own number story problems. We applied our writing and math skills in one lesson to create these interesting problems. They will be the first student work to be showcased on the bulletin outside of our classroom. If you happen to be in the school please come check them out!
Books, Books, Books!
The September Scholastic book order is due on September 30th. I am happy to suggest a "just-right" reading level for your child if you are thinking about purchasing some books. Thanks to those of you who already placed an order. With your orders we are able to purchase books for our classroom library!
