Homework

Students have graded homework coming home today.  If they have a check on their paper, that means they received full credit.  Every answer does not need to be correct to receive full credit.  Students must have the assignment totally completed, on time, and most questions correct to gain full credit.

In Readers' Workshop, students took on more responsibility regarding identifying unknown words and using their mental movies to infer what those words probably mean.  Look below to see how we use sticky notes to help us with this strategy.  Encourage your child to do this at home when they're independently reading! The Matilda book club also met today (see below).

In Math Workshop, students applied their understanding of exchanging base ten blocks to help them explain how to subtract vertically with exchanging.

In Writers' Workshop, students used their senses to describe a setting in a quick write.  The kids wanted me to post the picture from our quick write (see below; you can click on images to expand).  Over the weekend, have them say (or write down!) how they would describe this picture using their senses!

Students also had their first Word Study Challenge today!  Those papers will come home next week.

Homework:

• Read 20 minutes  

Reminders:

• Race for Education labels!

Have a wonderful weekend!
