Here's what we're up to in room 21 this week:
Writer's Workshop - We are getting close to the end of our Opinion Unit! We have switched gears a bit and are working to write reviews. We are restaurant reviewers, movie reviewers, video game reviewers, and more! We are working hard to CONVINCE our readers of our opinions. Here are some tools we use to convince our readers:
Math - We are deep into our Place Value Unit! We understand that two digit numbers are made up of tens and ones and will soon learn about hundreds! This week we will be focusing on ten more, ten less, comparing numbers, and expanded form. Check you kiddo's place value goal tracking page in their Leadership Binder to see what we've accomplished so far!
Spelling - Don't forget your child is responsible for their FIVE snap words each week. We choose our words on Mondays and take our tests on Fridays. It's super important that we practice our words at home so we're ready for our tests!
Reading - Please remember to read, read, read every school night! The expectation is 10 minutes each night, but many kiddos are reading more! WOO HOO! Make sure you are recording your minutes and initialing each night. We are working towards our school wide goal of one million minutes by the end of the year!
XtraMath - Although many kiddos are logging onto XtraMath at home, many kiddos aren't. It's a great way for students to practice their basic addition facts! Let me know if you need your child's password again.
