I hope you are enjoying your three day weekend! It was really nice to have an extra day to spend with family! But, that means we are going to hit the ground running tomorrow :) I just wanted to let you know that we used our iPads on Friday! We used an app called Number Pieces ( which had base 10 blocks) and we worked with a partner to build two digit numbers. I am super excited we have this learning tool to enhance our learning. My plan is to incorporate the iPads all across our curriculum! I will continue to keep you posted on how we use them on a weekly basis.
Here is our week of learning at a glance:
Reading Workshop-This week we will continue to work on establishing our routines during reading workshop. We are really focusing on finding one spot to read, and only one spot :), and making sure we are reading the whole time! This is crucial once I start working with small reading groups. I really try hard to let them find a comfortable spot to read but if I find they are not reading and using their time wisely, I do make them read at their desk so I can monitor their reading time.
Writing Workshop- We will continue to focus on Writer's workshop expectations and we will begin writing our first story. We created our topic lists last week so I am anxious to get them writing!
Science/ Social Studies- This week we will continue to focus on science safety. We will set up our science notebooks and even look at science tools. We will use our iPads to tour an actual science lab and then write about what we saw on our "tour".
In social studies, we will continue to focus on good citizenship at home and in the classroom.
Math- We will continue our unit on place value. We will focus on numbers to 100 and building numbers using tens and ones. This week we will also incorporate 100's chart activities.
Important News: I have included a link from our PTA: https://www.pt-avenue.com/pare
Class Celebrations: Lila lost a tooth this week and we were able to add her name to our tooth graph! Chloe celebrates her birthday this week. We want to wish her a happy birthday!
I hope you have a great day and we will see you bright and early tomorrow!
