We had a very productive week!
We had a visit from our new Technology Integration Specialist, Jeff Badillo, and he taught us how to log on to the computers and how to access our new google accounts. We will be using these accounts to access my maps as part of our geography unit.
In Writer's Workshop we are getting close to wrapping up our small moment stories. On Friday we picked a piece that we will publish and share with our classmates next week. Notes went home in the Friday folders with details about this Celebration.
In Reader's workshop we continue to talk about characters and how we can use characters to help us retell stories. Next week we will focus on Author's intentions. After the long weekend, we will be moving on to informational texts.
In math we are focusing on numbers and how we use place value to identify those numbers and compare them. We have used unifix cubes to help us visualize this concept by looking at groups of tens and individual unifix cubes for the ones. We will use this learning and apply it to add bigger numbers together.
This week and the beginning will be our wrap up of our community project. On Friday we finished up our collages of what makes up a community. We did these on the ipad using a collage app. On Tuesday we will share out all of our hard work we have done during our Community Unit.
Gift wrap orders are due. If you have orders, please send them in on Monday.
Next Thursday is our Author Visit from Dave Pilkey! The students are very excited.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
