This week, we:<\/strong><\/h4>\n

    Took our first steps into our Unit of Inquiry <\/span>Who We Are<\/span><\/i> by asking questions about what makes each of us unique and how our actions affect our classroom community. We will begin a culture collage\u00a0 next week Monday. Students will be brainstorming ideas such as their flag, clothing, food, dance, music, instruments, famous landmarks, and other traditions that make their culture special.<\/span><\/h4>\n

     <\/li>\n

  • \n

    We also introduced the Shoebox Autobiography home Project, which will give each student the chance to share more about themselves, their families, and their traditions with the class.<\/span><\/h4>\n

     <\/li>\n

  • \n

    Launched our Reading Journals and practiced recording our thinking about books. We also started exploring fables with <\/span>The Tortoise and the Hare<\/span><\/i>. Students completed a comprehension. Please do feel free to share with your child any fables you grew up with, that could be a fantastic whole class discussion to have.<\/span><\/h4>\n

     <\/li>\n

  • \n

    In Writing, we continued building routines and will soon begin our baseline writing assessment (a recount about the long weekend). Students will first complete a graphic organizer (who, when, where, what) and then draft their writing on lined paper.<\/span><\/h4>\n

     <\/li>\n

  • \n

    In Math, we explored patterns and problem-solving through hands-on activities. Anyone who has passed level 3 will be tested at level 4 next week.<\/span><\/h4>\n

     <\/li>\n

  • \n

    Continued building our classroom community through team-building games and reflective discussions about our essential agreements.<\/span><\/h4>\n

     <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    Looking ahead, we will:<\/b><\/h4>\n

       <\/li>\n

      Be diving into bar graphs, ordering numbers, and comparing with greater than\/less than\/equal. Students completed their numbers assessment (levels 1\u20133).<\/span><\/h4>\n<\/li>\n
    • \n

      Dive deeper into our culture unit and complete our collages (which we hope to share soon on Seesaw).<\/span><\/h4>\n

       <\/li>\n

    • \n

      Begin our PM Reading Assessments,each student will read one-on-one with me over the next two weeks.<\/span><\/h4>\n
