Reading & Writing Workshop

In reading workshop, we have been building routines around sharing with partners about books, building reading stamina (up to 30 minutes this week), and thinking about types of books we like to read. I also started some beginning of the school year reading assessments to learn more about your child as a reader.

This week in writing workshop we have had time to free write as I begin to learn about your child as a writer. We have also been building our stamina for writing (up to 25 minutes this week).

Science

In science, we are studying the sun and the concept of scientific inquiry.

Math Workshop

In math, we have been learning about place value, converting tenths, hundredths, and thousandths into fractions and decimals. We also discussed the importance of quality problem solving.

Word Study

As the year and our routines get underway, we will begin daily word study work. This will start either late next week or the following week.
