In Math Workshop, students used patterns to make mathematical claims about rules. We struggled a bit with applying patterns to rules and then determining missing numbers. Because of this, I will not be sending home homework today; I will push that until tomorrow.
In Writers' Workshop, we read like writers again to notice how authors spatially organize their ideas with paragraphs. Students then went back in their writing to revise and edit, ensuring they have new paragraphs according to their text maps.
In Word Study, we applied our rule "every syllable must have a vowel" to spell words we may not know how to spell yet.
In Readers' Workshop, students closely dissected character motivation to precisely identify specific character traits. When your child is reading at home tonight, have them tell you what their character's motivation is and what they're inferring about that character based on what they want. In book clubs, we use many strategies to help us comprehend, dig deeper, and critically think about text, characters, and relationships. See the color and symbol visible thinking strategies below.
In Social Studies, students are creating in class projects to display their thinking and learning about key democratic principles such as patriotism and citizenship.
