Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
Tell me about how you are drawing and labeling your pictures/stories in Writers Workshop? What does it mean "to label"?
Name some places in our community.
Writers Workshop
As Writers, we can draw and label pictures. We can write narrative stories.
A narrative story is a story about a small moment in your life.

Kaylin used lots of details in her illustrations.
Savannah is working hard!
Reading Workshop
As Readers, we can re-read to gain more information.
Literacy Workstations
Bryson and Kaiden are practicing writing their names neatly.
Aiden and Aliyah are using "problem solving" while putting puzzles together.
Aaryn is working on Starfall.
Shared Reading
We can track print (touch each word as we read). We can use picture clues to determine unknown words.
Math Workshop
As Mathematicians, we can use ten frames to count the numbers 0-10.
