Reading Workshop
This week during reading workshop we continued to work on noticing when character's change throughout the story. We read the story, Pop's Bridge to help us with this. We also compared and contrasted characters from the story and from stories that we are currently reading. Next week we will focus on inferencing again. This will be the last week we have reading workshop with Miss. Werner.
* Just a reminder, we will visit the library on Thursday this week due to Cougar Challenge on Friday.

Writing Workshop
This week during writing workshop we began our personal narrative unit. We responded to our first write-on-demand writing prompt this week. We also gathered ideas and began drafting two personal narratives. We will continue with this next week and focus on small moments.
Math Workshop
We began Unit 2 this past week. We worked on fact families, extended fact families, and function tables to help us with addition and subtraction. Please review addition and subtraction facts with your child. It would be nice to do this everyday for atleast 3-5 minutes. This could be done when riding in the car to and from places or while preparing for dinner.
Student Council Representatives
It was election time in our classroom this week. Congratulations to all who ran for student council. They did an amazing job with their speeches! The votes were extremely close. I knew this was going to be a hard decision for them. Our 2015-2016 representatives will be Emily Stevenson and Joe Glander.
