Week 3 ( 2nd 9 Weeks) October 28 - November 1

Reading Workshop:

This week we continue to dig deeper into ideas we've been studying such as Point of View, Non-Fiction Texts vs. Fiction Texts, and Text Evidence. 

Students will continue to build their stamina in reading and respond about their texts through literary responses.

We will also look at how well are we tracking our reading and our learning through our Reader Notebooks.

Writing Workshop: 

This week we will begin using our writing abilities to respond to images. This will cause us to have to think about the images we see, our own personal connections, and how we can use our thinking to be creative and tell/write a story.

 Handwriting: 
Students will work on connecting letters: fhkleb
We will begin to work toward letters: ijprsutw
