Writing Workshop Goals

Last week and this week we  started making Writing Workshop Goals. Many kids in KC are working on spacing between words.

How To Stories

During this lesson, we focused on spacing, spelling HEART words and rereading our writing.

We are learning how to write How To Stories. A How To Story tells the reader how to do something. We read the story Walk On By Marla Freeze. This story was about teaching a baby how to walk. At large group time, we wrote a How To Build A Snowman story.



We have worked on the first few pages of our stories. We have lots of interesting How To Titles!

Writing Workshop

During Interactive Writing time we focused on writing sentences. A goal at writing workshop time is to be writing sentences on each page. We talked about how spacing between each word helps you read your words. We are excited to share our stories on Friday. We are finishing our books and practicing reading them.

David Shannon

While reading this story, we focused on making predictions. We were surprised at why she had all the stripes in the first place.

Reading David Shannon Books!

Math This Week

The class web page has the math newsletter for this new unit Measurement and the Number System.

We also solved some tricky pattern word problems!

We learned two dice addition games. We talked about the math strategy of COUNTING ON. If I rolled a 5 and 2, I could count starting at one, or I can start with 5 and add 2:6,7. Counting On is a quicker way to add two numbers together.

Today was the 80th day of school. The Queen of Ten came for a visit! We figured out that it is only 20 more days until the 100th day!!!!!!!!!

The Queen of 10 had us figure out the missing numbers from her cube stick. 3+- =10, 6+-=10 and 1+_=10

She gave a special homework assignment to make 80 things in the number 80. We talked about recording 40 in the number 8 and 40 in the number 0. She encourage students to make groups of ten and change the color for each group. If your child had a half day we forget to pack this sheet. I will send home a sheet this weekend in an email.

She had us count by tens with a math tool called an Acabus.
