We are still reading picture books like crazy. Over 500 read in the last 3 weeks! |
We use "What's My Rule" machines to practice following patterns, identifying patterns and number relationships and being able to do functions back and forth (addition/subtraction). |
Students are using their "Quick Words" all the time now to find correct spellings to use as they write. |
We are learning to identify character traits in literature and be able to describe a character after thinking about how they act, speak and think. |
Students are using this planning sheet to plot out each new adventure in their realistic fiction series. |
One of our goals in writing is to write "down the page" across a lot of pages. This helps encourage writers to elaborate on their topics with details and dialogue and action. |
The kids are having a ball creating adventures in their realistic fiction series. They remember this unit from grade one and are building on prior learning with their new writing techniques. |
In conjunction with our learning in reading workshop, we are thinking about the main character in our series and deciding what type of person he/she is before writing. |
This young writer has all his tools out during writing workshop to help him reach his writing goals. |
