Shared Reading
During Shared Reading time we are reading Will You Be My Mother and Hairy Bear. You can see above that we wrote words that have the AM chunk. We learned if you can spell AM you can spell bam, clam, ham, Pam etc. We are also working on the strategy of asking ourselves while reading and writing  Does it sound right? Does it look right? Does it make sense?


Writing Workshop
 We are learning about small moments. At writing time, we have been reading and talking about how these books have parts to them that are small moments. 






We are starting a new math unit about patterns.

On a different day we had to put four names in order from shortest to longest or longest to shortest. We recorded our results in our math books.
