In Readers' Workshop we focused on making text to self connections. We read several Kevin Henkes' books and then made connections between the story and our lives. We learned that we can connect to the story elements (characters, setting, problem, and solution) and to how characters feel. These connections help us to comprehend the story we are reading.
In Writers' Workshop we focused on using adjectives to help us describe. We wrote our own spooky versions of Brown Bear, Brown Bear with things we find at Halloween time. We then published those stories using https://www.littlebirdtales.com/. We will post these stories on our blogs next week, but here are a couple to enjoy before they are all posted. I will send a text via Remind when we have posted them to KidBlog.

In Math, we wrapped up our unit on Addition and Subtraction to 12. We focused on the relationship between addition and subtraction (if we know the addition fact, we already know the related subtraction fact). We also used the Draw a Picture strategy to help us solve story problems. We will begin our unit on Addition Strategies to 20 on Monday!
We focused on Bats for our Wonder Wednesday/Science this week. We used PebbleGo to research facts about bats. We took notes about what we learned about bats from PebbleGo and other resources. We then determined what was the most important information and shared with the class on Google Classroom.
Our Halloween party on Friday afternoon was awesome! Thank you parents for all your hard work! I will share pictures from the party soon!
