Peek at the Week of January 28-February 1

A brand new month begins this week!  We wil have our January "Pep Rally" and change seats for the new month.  The class really looks forward to these end of the month traditions.

Thank you to the parents who came in for last week's Game Day.  The class had a great time with you.

We will be reading animal nonfiction books in reading workshop and using a variety of 'reports' to share our new learning.

We continue to write How To books in Writing Workshop.  This week we will focus on adding details to each step.  For example, instead of writing, "Put on your helmet."  We will stretch out that idea to be, "You will need to put on a helmet.  A helmet protects you in case you fall down."
