During Reading Workshop we:
- learned how buddies can act out a book together, one person being the narrator and the other child pretending to be the characters.
- talked about how readers can improve their fluency by "scooping up" several words at a time instead of pointing and hopping to every word.
- learned about contractions.
This week during Math we:
- practiced telling and solving number stories.
- learned about fact families.
- played an exchange game to help us practice exchanging ten ones for one ten and ten tens for one hundred.
- played an addition game.
During Writing Workshop we organized our writing portfolios. The children are very excited to share these with you at our learning celebration next week! As a reminder, our learning celebration will be held in our classroom on Thursday, June 9 between 3:30 and 5:30. You may stop by with your child anytime during that block of time and can expect to spend 20-30 minutes with your child. I look forward to seeing all of you then!
