November is underway and promises to move quickly! There will be a few adjustments to our regular routines and then of course the days off for Veteran's Day, parent conferences and Thanksgiving. If you haven't had a chance to sign up for a conference please contact the office. They have a master schedule and can let you know of available times. I am looking forward to meeting with everyone!
During Readers Workshop this week we have been practicing our inference skills - using clues in the story to help us understand what is happening. One of our target skills is to cite evidence in the story to support our thinking. This week we focused on the character's feelings and how we know how they might be feeling. This also became our second See Saw activity where after reading the story, Chrysanthemum, students looked at a picture from the story and described the character's feelings and support their answer. Almost everyone has updated their journals so be sure to check them out! In math we are focusing on different strategies for solving addition and subtraction equations. We have been practicing counting on, counting back, using doubles and making ten. We are getting ready to start a new social studies unit about Family. We are going to create a focus board in the classroom and would love to add photos of our families. If you would like to participate please send in a small photo that we can put on the bulletin board. You can also email me the photo and I can print it at school.
