This week's happenings!! August 25-29

Here is what is happening this week in room 34.

Writing- We are continuing to build our writing stamina. We are up to 18 minutes!! We have begun writing conferences, truly my favorite part of the day. 

Science- We are discussing tools that scientist use and practicing in activities to classify, compare, and contrast, and to think like a scientist!

Math- We will be learning all about our new  textbook, and online component called ALEKS. We will begin chapter one on place value while participating in math workshop.

Reading- Our reading stamina is up to 25 minutes!! The class is doing a fantastic job staying focused, such great readers! We are focusing on the characteristics of genres and discuss "reading is thinking" though metacognition. 

Mark your calendars:

September 1st- Labor Day, no school

Thanks,
Carrie Turek
