Conference Week

I have really enjoyed meeting with all the families this week.   If you have any questions about what we discussed do not hesitate to reach out!  The 20 minutes goes by so fast!

Reading:  This week we are working on looking at words carefully as we read.  We are learning about blends (two consonants together) and digraphs (ch, sh, th, wh).  Students are learning to check their reading to make sure it looks right, sounds right, and makes sense!  We loved our visit from Peter Reynolds. 

Writing:  We are using Mentor Texts to help us write How To books.  We got another checklist to help us with our writing.
Math:  We continue to celebrate the number 100 during math bins.  We are also working on drawing a picture to help us solve an addition story. 

Science: This week we built bridges out of different materials.  We predicted which materials would work and talked about our designs to build them.  We tested our ideas.  The bridges had to hold two little people and two people had to fit underneath the bridge as well.
