Sunday Schedule: Week 1, Day 1
Upcoming Events and Special Notes:
This week kicked off our drafting process with our Realistic Fiction pieces during Writer's Workshop. Students have been working to expand the heart of their story and look back at strategies for how to develop writing craft further. Reader's Workshop this week was a continuation of our study of non-fiction as we practiced taking notes in our Reader's Notebooks using structures (compare/contrast, chronological order, problem/solution, cause/effect) we find in the text to take meaningful notes. Math this week continued work with division strategies as we move into solving multi-step story problems, practicing what we know about division and problem solving!
Next week, students will finish up Realistic Fiction drafts and work towards revising/editing for publishing. Reader's Workshop will continue with looking at text structures to help us organize our note taking when reading non-fiction. In Math, we'll be starting to look at vocabulary words like prime numbers, composite numbers, factors, multiples! Exciting stuff!
