Readers' Workshop

In reading we are wrapping up our first unit of study on Building Good Reading Habits with a review of partner reading expectations. In the month of November, students will begin working with a new reading partner. Here is what we are working on this week:


Here are some snapshots from our Readers' Workshop this week!

Now that our small reading groups are up and underway, please ask your student about their reading groups and encourage them to read each night. The first and second graders are doing a great job bringing their bookbags back and forth each day.

 








Writers' Workshop
In writing, we are in the middle of fixing up our "small moment" stories. I am working with students 1:1 to help them use a writing checklist. Together, we decide what they did well and what they still need to work on. While students are not working with me to fix up their stories, they are enjoying a Writers' Workshop Choice Board. 

Students Can:

Write and respond to a picture prompt

Free write 

Practice letter formation

Practice their word sort/ Trick Words

Read our Small Moments mentor texts






Comfy Cozy/Crazy Hair Day
Friday was a well deserved special day for our class. Here are some pics from the half day. 












First Grade Math 
In math, we wrapped up Unit 1 and our October Number Corner activities. Over the month, we worked on identifying different polygons, and created a pictograph together. Students worked on asking and answering questions about our graph. We used all of the plane shapes collected over the month to create new composite creations. Up next, we will work on developing efficient adding and subtracting strategies!
