Reading Workshop: This week we will focus on fluency. I am defining this as reading like a "storyteller" vs. sounding like a robot. We will pay attention to punctuation and how that affects your reading voice.
Math: This week's topics are Developing Models for Subtraction, Consolidating Subtraction Concepts, Relating Addition and Subtraction and taking our Unit 2 assessment.
Writing Workshop: We are (hopefully) finishing up our Small Moment stories and will spend the week focusing on basic sentence writing. This is a good time to make sure all sentences are complete thoughts and that they begin with a capital letter. Tuesday night's homework will be a chance to practice answering a question in a complete sentence.
Second Steps Social Skills: This week's topic is called 'Being Assertive'. The lesson concepts are that "Being assertive involves using as assertive posture (face the person you are talking to, keep your head up and shoulders back) and assertive tone of voice (use a calm, firm voice; use respectful words)." We will talk about different situations where you might need to be assertive, like when you need an adult's help at home or school.
