Friday Note........a bit late!

Friday Note 1/13/17

NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY!

This Week:  In math we started our unit on joining groups.  We introduced the + and what it means when we see it between two numbers.

Our focus in reading this week was winter.

·         Language Workshop—we read two informational texts about winter, Winter and Exploring Winter.  We reviewed the characteristics of informational texts (table of contents, glossary and index).  We listed key details from each text and wrote about these details in our Reading Journals. 

·         Writing Workshop—we read Winter and made a list of vocabulary words (gloves, skates, sled, coat, snowman).  We added this list to our Reading Journals.  We wrote a sentence every day using one or more of these vocabulary words.

·         Reading Workshop—Students are working daily in Literacy Centers while I work in small groups or one on one with students. 

Important Dates:

·         Jan 17-19:  Little Cheer Clinic practice after school until 5:30 p.m.

·         Jan. 19:  Cox Care Mobile (call the nurse to schedule an appointment)

·         Jan. 20:  Little Cheer Clinic performance at the high school boys basketball game
