In Writing Workshop we began our end of the year writing benchmark. The children will create a piece of writing independently. They will continue working on this through May 8th.
In Reading Workshop we have been focusing on understanding the importance of reading with fluency and expression. We read fluently and with expression, it sounds like we are talking. As the children read they will ask themselves "How would I say this if I were talking to someone?" The children learned about reading with excitement when the reader sees exclamation marks. We also focused on the characters and giving the characters a voice.
In Math Workshop we are understanding how to read a calendar. By using the months of the year, and the days of the week in sequence. We will continue to work on this and move into understanding how to create and use graphs.
