Reading:

This first week of school, we learned the expectations for our classroom and enjoyed getting to know one another. We had fun decorating our Reader's Response Journals that we will use to respond to literature throughout the year. We began a discussion about what Readers' Workshop will "Look and Sound Like."

Next week, we will continue to learn about Readers' Workshop and will learn how to shop for for "Just Right" books. In addition, we will learn how to record what we read in class in our daily reading logs. Students will also learn the expectations of "Partnership Menus" and how they are a resource for sharing what we learn from the text we read.

Math:

This week we have been setting up our Math Journal to get ready for our exciting year of mathematics as a 3rd grader. We practiced working together in Math Workshop and discussing what our expectations for what Math Workshop should look like and sound like in order for us to learn, grow, and practice showing our grit and growth mindset.

Next week we will be taking our AIMSweb testing in Math, continuing to launch our Math Workshop, and beginning to work on Place Value.

In Grammar we will be focusing on plural nouns.
