Week in Review
What a week! We dove right back in after Fall Break with some retelling. For starters, we practiced identifying the BME (Beginning, Middle, and End) and retold the stories to our friends.
On Monday, we read Bats at the Ballgame.




 Later in the week, we learned how to summarize a story with the SWBS Strategy!
 We kept up our Bat theme with these books:
By Friday, we were ready to use it with our friends.



We also practiced an important skill for reading and writing: finding and using spelling patterns! In reading, we call this "Chunky Monkey." It helps us decode unfamiliar words.
In spelling, it sometimes manifests as word families. We had fun rolling out some spelling patterns and reading the words we made.



To practice telling our Opinions, we had a VERY serious debate with this book.
We started out the week with reading the text and listing our REASONS for why we held a certain opinion about the animal. On Tuesday, we learned the OREO method for writing our opinion. We wrote a class piece to share our opinions about the animal.
 By the end of the week, we were using this text to write our opinions with the OREO method.















Have a great week!
