Math

Mrs. Farhatt helps students to challenge with place value and multiplication after finishing an assignment.  

Ivy and Aniya work together to round large numbers to a given place.  

CJ watches Madison write expanded form for a standard number he created.  

Writer's Workshop
We started learning about Realistic Fiction, our first unit of study for the school year.  Students learned the special characteristics of this genre and brainstormed seed ideas for their stories.  We also spent time creating a summary and developing our main characters.

Parker shares an idea for her story with the class.  

Reader's Workshop

We continued building our reading stamina this week, and we explored the different types of thinking readers do.  Thoughtful readers have reactions, make connections, ask questions, and share predictions.  

Autumn & Jayden record their thinking in their Reading Journals.
