Newsletter 10/6/17

Hello Everyone!
I hope you are having a relaxing long weekend. I was enjoying the historicl sights of Philly! There is no school, October 9th. It has been a busy few weeks in our classroom and I think you’ll love checking out our most recent pictures!
Math
We have been using what we know about numbers 1-20 to help us solve equations with much larger numbers! We have also worked on our understanding of place value and using that knowledge to break down larger numbers with their place values. We have been writing numbers in expanded form and working on explaining our thinking!
Reading
As we wrap up our first reading unit, we have made our own personal goals for our reading. This requires the readers to think of thoughtful goals that truly match them in their reading journey. The readers have been working so hard to reach their goals and have been so expressive about their learning journey in reading. The students are taking ownership of their learning and they are so driven to meet their individual goals!
Writing
We have celebrated our first unit in writing by having a share! Students either shared in a private conference or with their classmates to show off their incredible work! We started off with personal narratives and will be creating one more with a different focus before enter our nonfiction writing unit.
Science
We continue to have inquiry based science activities that boost questioning and our science talks. So far the most exciting has been our discovery of owl pellets!
