Students visited the Holiday Shop today. They were so excited to buy gifts and they all had specific plans for each person on their list. Overall, students did an awesome job!
Today in readers' workshop, we are reading the book, Holes, together and students are learning about author writing strategies. Students are learning how Louis Sachar, the author of Holes, writes side stories and flashbacks within the text. The complexity of this book occurs because often times it will move into a flashback or side story without warning. Your child is learning quickly how to pay attention to these shifts.
In writers' workshop, our fiction unit is coming to a close. Students learned about a writing craft called a Circular ending (having a detail appear in the beginning and the end of their story). Many children tried to incorporate this lesson into their fiction stories.
In math, students continue to learn more about fractions. We are focusing on making estimates prior to adding fractions.
Homework:
- 30 minutes of reading
