I hope everyone had a great vacation and 2013 wrap-up!
We started the new year with new student-made class rules and a lot of new learning!
In readers' workshop we've started reading and studying non-fiction texts. We've been practicing using text features such as table of contents, diagrams, captions, and bold words to help us learn more about the book's topic.
In writers' workshop we are writing how-to books! Students made lists of things they are experts at, and are writing step-by-step instructions to teach their skills to their readers.
Place value has been our focus in Everyday Math. We've played lots of games with base-ten blocks to help understand this concept. We've also learned how to properly use the <, >, and = signs to compare numbers.
More next week!
