Week Four!

Hello everyone,

This week has been another great one! In math we have been examining patterns using shapes, colors, size, and numbers. Students have been working very hard to draw connections between the concepts we have already been studying in math workshop to this idea. Students also continue to work hard studying number lines, counting by 2's, 10's, 5's, and decomposing and composing their numbers.

Writing and reading will continue to evolve this week.We have begun spending time each day focusing on handwriting, today we focused on the capital letter F. We will be learning capital letters first and then we will focus on lower case. Students have been modeling and working more independently in small groups during literacy time. In reading students are being reminded to focus their conversations on how the story made them feel and what connections they have. Students have been doing a great job making text-to-text and text-to-self connections.

Students have also been doing a phenomenal job of sharing, I am guessing that a lot of great prep at home is  supporting that.Thank you!

We look forward to having our very first Four Winds time this week!
