Howdy Folks!
Here's what we've been up to this week!
Writer's
We worked on additional strategies for generating ideas and made sure to focus on adding a description of character's feelings during the intense part of the story!
We also discussed what to do, when we're done with the story we've written...
Of course, practicing writing stamina as well, and we're working on trying to write for a full 30 minutes without distractions! On top of that, a handful of us practiced reading with voice and vigor!
Reader's
We worked on recording an important moment, and sharing our thoughts with textual evidence!
We also discussed HOW to determine if a moment in the stories that we're reading is actually an important moment!
On top of that, we practiced discerning what is a Great Fit book versus a book that might be too challenging...
...And we're working on our class library by separating genres into sub categories!
Math
Working on understanding the multiplicative relationship in the place value system! We're also revisiting the Doubles Strategies for twos, fours, and eights! We're also utilizing the decomposing strategy to help with multiplication as well!
