- reviewed and practiced using Stretchy Snake.

This week during Writing Workshop we wrapped up our small moment unit. We:
- learned that writers include itty-bitty details.
- learned that writers of small moment stories end the story in the moment instead of leading into another story.
- talked about where letters should be placed on the lines (tall, small, and descending).
- learned that writers include when the story happened.
- learned to write "inside story" details (details about how we were feeling in the moment).
- chose a story to fancy-up and share with the class.
Next week, we will begin our "how-to" writing unit. Students will write to teach others how to do something.
This week during Math we:
- reviewed the characteristics of squares, triangles, rectangles, and circles and went on a shape hunt in our classroom.
- reviewed what the addition symbol means and practiced solving addition problems.
- played Roll and Record, a game to help us practice addition facts.
- started making number scrolls to help us practice writing numbers. Children will continue to work on these when they have extra time.
- made shape robots.
Have a nice weekend!
