Reading and Writing Workshop
This week, we begin a new unit of study “Small Moments.”
During this unit the Scholars will learn and practice decoding
and reading strategies to help them better comprehend text.
In addition, they will learn how to retell a story in sequential
order using transition words and how to use their schema,
along with clues from the author to better understand a
character’s emotions and motives.
In Writer’s workshop the Scholars will learn and practice
writing personal narratives based on a small moment in their
life. They will learn how to plan their writing using a graphic
organizer and “fancy up” their stories.
Tomorrow the Scholars will complete their Unit 3 EDM progress check and on Monday, we will begin Unit 4.
Unit 4 focuses on measurement (standard and nonstandard),
telling time (half-hour, quarter –to and quarter-pass), and
introduces addition facts.
We will continue learning and comparing the value of pennies, nickels and dimes.
If you have not done so already, please send in 20 nickels, 10 dimes, and 4 quarters for your Scholar to use during EDM lessons and games.
