Week in Review

It was nice to finally get back into the swing of learning this past week!

This time of the year is always so special because we see kids really TAKE OFF in their reading! It is so exciting to watch their enthusiasm build as their reading becomes more fluent with each passing week.

In our whole class reading time, we focused on the skill of identifying cause and effect. We read some hilarious books like:

and a version of The Gingerbread Man

In writing, we learned about a new type of writing: Persuasive Writing.

We learned that people can actually have a JOB to play games, eat food, watch movies, and go on vacations just to tell people whether or not they should use them! The kids had so much fun exploring this type of writing this week. I can't wait to see what else they come up with!

We're excited to show you what we come up with next!

In math, we had fun discovering fractions as halves and fourths.

Have a great week!
