We listened to some GREAT reading yesterday and today with Simi and A.J. reading two wonderful books. We really enjoyed them!
In math workshop, 1st graders are working on the addition and subtraction table as a tool to help them with their math facts. 2nd graders are working on patterns. They also took their Unit 6 checking progress assessment.
In readers' workshop we reviewed how turn and talk looks and sounds. We also did a Venn diagram comparing and contrasting thick and thin questions. Today we began reading the book Dandelions by Eve Bunting. We are focusing on asking thick questions: questions that require MORE than a yes or no answer and ones that really make us think. We have to use our strategies to answer and have conversations in order to really understand the book.
In writers' workshop we continued to work on our biographies. I'll will let you know if we reschedule the biography tea.
We also learned about our new vocabulary words. Be sure and check out the Wiki for those words, plus a letter went home on Monday with the definitions.
Tomorrow we have P.E. and music. Be sure and wear gym shoes.
