With the snow day on Tuesday this week absolutely flew by. We celebrated a full heart jar on Monday with a bonus recess. We wrapped up our first big math unit on Thursday and we had an All School Meeting on Friday.
This week in readers workshop we began to focus more on how reading partners work together. We brainstormed lots of ways to problem solve when your partner is not engaged. We learned how partners help encourage each other to try lots of strategies to figure out words. We reviewed how partners think and share about their books by doing something after they read (share a favorite part, retell the story, make a connection to the story).
In writers workshop we are flying through our small moment stories. This week we focused on adding details to help bring our stories to life. We unfreeze characters by making them move and talk. We tell the story in itty bitty steps. We bring the inside out by showing what the characters think and feel.
Today you should see a blue paper come home with your conference time (it's also posted outside our classroom). If the time given does not work for you please let me know ASAP so I can try to find a time we can meet next Thursday or Friday. I'm excited to share all the progress your child has made this year!
