Discovering in the Rain

Work Time: This week many students received their pink language work plan. All the students have been working very hard on matching objects and labels, matching picture and labels, and writing their words in their language journals.

We also introduce four new sigh words this week. A, of, the, and
.Students were able to practice reading and writing these words through out the week. We even were able to test out the new chalk board wall!!!

Writers Workshop: This week in writers workshop we have been working on understanding what a small moment is. Writers think about a big topic (summer vacation), a smaller topic ( the week you had swim lessons), and a small moment ( your first day of swim lessons). Writers think about how to zoom in on the small moment and write about that.

We read Fireflies and picked out our favorite small moment from that book. Ask your child what their favorite small moment was.

Star Student:

This week’s star student is Kieran. Kieran has been really challenging himself in all areas at work time. Kieran has really been participating in readers workshop and pushed himself with his writing to keep writing more. He has been a great leader in the line, out at recess, and in the class. Way to GO Kieran!!!
