Peek at the Week of March 24-28

 

 
It looks like it is going to be a regular school week...my favorite kind of week!

Writing Workshop
The big excitement will be preparing for our upcoming poetry show.  This is our final week of writing poems.  Each child will select their two best/favorite poems for the big show.


Reading Workshop
We will be getting ready for our upcoming unit on reading non-fiction.  This will require some very careful book selection for our "just right" book bins.  The classroom library has MANY non-fiction books, and it is important to find books that match our interests and levels.   We will be "reading like a scientist". 


Math Workshop
We will continue to work on Unit 6.   This week we will be making combinations of 10.  We will also explore why the number 10 is so important because it helps us to add larger numbers more quickly.
