We had a very busy and exciting first full week of school. We had a visit from Ms. Wideman reminding us about "debugging", we celebrated Benjamin, Jack and Sam's birthdays, and we worked hard on some beginning of the year assessments. We also finished reading our Red Clover books and will be voting on our favorite on Monday. We have been working hard on different activities in Bridges work stations and created our own problems to solve today. Look for them on the bulletin board in the hallway outside of the Adventurers space. I continue to be amazed by the strategies your children have for solving problems in math! In Readers Workshop we have been talking about what readers need to read well, choosing easy, just right and hard books for our book boxes and what a quiet reading time should look and sound like. Today we enjoyed a wonderful snack of pretzels, cheese and crackers and apples as a team that John's mother brought in. Many thanks to Kristen for that delicious and nuitritious snack.
Next week we will have another visit from Ms. Wideman and will continue to learn more about Reader's Workshop. We will also work hard on finishing up some assessments. We will begin Writer's Workshop and start talking about homework.
Many thanks to all of you for attending curriculum night, it was great to touch base with all of you again. If you have any further questions please feel free to contact me.
Have a terrific weekend!
