I can't believe we are almost halfway through October already....the year seems to be flying by. We've had a great few weeks, filled with learning and fun, highlighted by our first Tiger Head celebration of the year (see pic below). Here are some highlights from the classroom:
Reading and Writing Workshop: We are wrapping up our realistic fiction reading unit where students have been learning how to infer about character traits, character change and theme. We will finish the unit with a summative assessment next week, followed by our end of unit celebration next Friday. Students are also finishing up their realistic fiction stories focusing on writing techniques such as showing not telling. We have also been using Flocabulary to learn about figurative language like similes, metaphors. personification, etc. and students have been doing a great job of identifying examples of figurative language in their reading and using it in their writing! Math: We finished Module 1 last week with a review of all of the math concepts in the unit and a summative assessment. We are moving on to Module 3 beginning Monday (multiplication and division strategies). Students are also using Khan Mappers to dive deeper into other concepts like geometry and also Reflex and Frax to work on fluency. I look forward to meeting with all of you at conferences on 10/25 and 10/26. If you have not had a chance to sign up, feel free to do so at your earliest convenience.
