Peek at the Week of October 12-16


There is no school for students on Monday, October 12th in honor of Columbus Day.  We will study a bit of history and map skills using Columbus as our inspiration. 

In Writing Workshop we will continue to work on our Small Moment Personal Narrative stories.

In Reading Workshop we will be focusing on decoding strategies.  Sometimes we will call them "word attack" skills. 

In Math we continue to work on Topic 2.  We will start to write and solve story problems.  The goal is to be able to show your solution using pictures, words and numbers (equation).
