This week the students shared their traditions with the class and it has been great hearing all of the different (and similar) family traditions! We still have a couple left that will get to share this week. There are some pictures of the presentations below :)
In reading this week we introduced our next Daily 5 job - Listen to Reading! We have four IPads in the classroom that the students have been using to listen to different stories to continue their exposure to different texts and build their fluency and comprehension. They absolutely love the new Daily 5 job and have been very understanding that it is a job that they might not get to do everyday.
In writing we are starting our next unit - Author Study! In this unit the students will get to explore the work of different authors and it also focuses on constructing opinion statements. This week we have introduced this through our Question of the Day. The students have been learning different sentence starters for opinion statements (I like, I think, I feel, My favorite, etc.) and that every opinion needs a reason (a because statement). The students have been doing an incredible job giving their opinions and supporting them.
The January newsletter, volunteer calendar, and other handouts will be coming home in the green go home folders tomorrow!
