Classroom Curriculum
Writer's Workshop - The children have been learning that we can make a change by writing persuasive letters. Many have been sent to administration and are truly making a difference. For example, Ella wrote to Mrs. Laxton persuading administration to begin collecting recyclables in the cafeteria. Through more brainstorming (and writing) they have decided to have monitors to help with the recyclables and making signs to assist in the process.
Reader's Workshop - We are working on figuring out tricky words, this week our focus in using context clues.
Math Workshop - We begin the week by continuing to work on adding the numbers together. During this work children have focused on the use of 2 strategies; building ten and adding doubles. We will also begin working on missing addend with addition.
