Welcome to November! I hope everyone is enjoying our new chillier and brisk weather. The children are moping about having to wear jackets outside for recess now, but we are at least having some sunny days.
Reading Workshop- for reading this week we are working on context clues. Students also have letters and a response sheet to complete in class on a book of their choosing. Many students have moved up a reading level since our last reading conference, and I am pleased with the growth I have observed. We also started some new centers this week that include the listening center, big books, partner reading, computer, and word games.
Writing Workshop- this is our second week working on our All About books. I am overwhelmed with the variety of meaningful topics this class has chosen to write about. I see such wonderful connections between their writing and lives. We have included diagrams and another "different" kind of comparison page to our books.
Math Workshop- Among the many groups that exist for math, one group is continuing on with number sense: even/odd, comparing and ordering numbers, another group is working on number riddles and trickier word problems related to number sense, and the third group has begun money.
Project- We are deep in phase two of project, finishing up our market research. Next I hope to begin moving and setting up the store. We will also be working on writing some scripts to begin creating some commercials to promote the store.
