Reader's Workshop 📚
This week in Reader's Workshop we will talk about how readers use good habits for making sense of books. We will study pictures to better understand books, make our voices match what's happening in our stories, learn how to make inferences and practice retelling at the end of a book.
Writer's Workshop 🖊
Our first unit in Writer's Workshop is Personal Narratives, which we also refer to as “Small Moment Stories”. These are stories your child will write about their own life, zooming in on a small moment in time. By focusing on a small moment in time, writers can add details to make that moment come to life with words. For example:
Big Topic: Riding my bike Small Moment: 1st time I rode without training wheels
Big Topic: My dogs Small Moment: The time when my dogs escaped through the
fence gate
Big Topic: Summer Small Moment: Collecting seashells at the beach with Grandma
Did you share any special times over the summer? Does your family have any special traditions? Has your family visited a special place or taken a trip? These memories are the seeds your child can use to “grow” a story.
Math 🖩
This week we will begin Unit 2 in our math program, which will focus on developing strategies with dice and dominoes! To learn more about the skills and concepts that we will be focusing on in our second math unit you can click
