Friday Note: May 6, 2016
Thank you so much for
all the teacher appreciation gifts!
Events of the Week:
- Language
Workshop: This week we continued our author study on Laura Numeroff. We enjoyed some of her other books. One of our favorites was Dogs Don’t
Wear Sneakers. The students
also enjoyed her book of poems, Sometimes I Wonder if Poodles like Noodles.
- Writing Workshop: We continued working on our writing. We
practiced writing a sequence of events about getting ready each morning
and a piece about our field trip.
- Reading Workshop: Students are working daily in Literacy
Centers. While students are working
independently, I am reading with individual students and doing assessments.
- Word
Study: This week we
focused on making words and spelling simple words. The kids are getting much better at
hearing and recording the sounds in words!
- Math: We finished
our unit on solid figures (cylinder, cone, cube, and sphere).

Summer Activities… Over
