Week 3

It was a short, but busy week!

This week we started our literacy block rounds as part of Daily 5. We have now introduced two choices out of a total of five. The two jobs are: Work on Writing and Read to Self. As we introduce new literacy jobs, we continue to practice and focus on the Daily 5 expectations (Stay in one spot, work quietly, work the whole time, start right away, and build stamina). Some of you may have received some Work on Writing evidence...they have been very excited about writing letters and notes :)

In math, we have been practicing our basic addition and using visuals to help us write number sentences. Our community of mathematicians has also been working on identifying and building patterns. They are already beginning to use mathematical language "I know this is true because..." "I agree with ____ because..." Being able to talk about mathematical thinking and being able to show it is something we will continue to build on a daily basis.

Looking forward to another great week in Room 112!
