This Week We...
- On Friday the Maples shared the work we did surrounding our Integrated Unit question "What does 'We're all in this together' mean to our school." Students made surveys, maps and videos exploring the relationships between our building, students and staff. Thank you to all of the grown ups that were able to join us
- In Math Workshop we explored story problems with multiple addends. We also began to develop strategies to determine if an equation was truly equal.
- In Writing Workshop we began to apply more of the tools used by Angela Johnson to tell our stories. Students also decided whether their story was a "small moment" or a "string" of small moments linked together.
- In Reading Workshop we reviewed the elements of non-fiction books and how to use them to deepen our understanding of real world topics.
Next week we will...
- Enjoy a restful Winter Break!
