Birthday treats!  Let me know if you'd like to bring in birthday treats for the class!  We have 17 students in the class that are always welcoming of treats.  :)  We will typically have birthday treats at 10:15am with our snack time.  So, if you can drop them off in the morning before snack, we will enjoy them with snack.  If not, let me know so I can plan for another arrangement.  (Note:  We do not have a peanut/treenut allergy in our classroom, but we do have a few students that are to avoid nuts and beans.)

Classroom Happenings:
In Reader's Workshop, students are continuing to use mentor texts to study poetry.  This week we added to our knowledge of poetry by studying how authors use certain language or repeated lines/phrases to add voice to a poem. 

This past week in writer's workshop, we continued writing our own poems! 

This week students worked with models and manipulatives to solve 2- and 3- digit addition problems with bundling.  We are using manipulatives like base-ten blocks or models like the arrow way or place value chart to solve these types of problems.  See if your student can show you how to solve 395+86 this weekend!

Check out the latest SeeSaw post for a look at how we're solving 2-digit addition problems.
