Readers Workshop

This week in Readers Workshop we are working on Predicting. We do a picture walk of our book before we read it as a class...We make prediction on what we think the story is going to be about. This is super easy to do with you child at home! Try it out tonight when you are doing your nightly reading with your little one!!!

Writers Workshop

This week we started learning how to write stories with 3 important parts: The Beginning, The Middle and The Ending.
Our class has learned some easy story starts to start the writing process...these are:
One day
One rainy day
One sunny day
Once upon a time

Here is an example of what a story should look like with all three parts. ( I will try to take a picture of a real story today at writers workshop)

One sunny day I went to the beach. I played beach ball with my family. We had so much fun!

Try to have your child write you a story at home :)

Flag Raising







Last Friday we had a very exciting flag raising! The Wolfson high school football players and cheerleaders came out to "kickoff" our school year!
The mascot for the Gator Bowl also came to our flag raising! The students had an amazing time watching the cheerleaders do their cheers and stunts.

Math Workshop

Hello Parents! Today some Math homework went home. We are currently working on how to write the correct formation with our numbers. You can practice this with your child at home :)
Also...work on trying to count to 20!

WRITERS WORKSHOP!!!

During Writers Workshop, we are working on writing stories. These can be real stories or make believe stories. Right now, since writing is new to most of us...our stories are mostly a couple of "words" and maybe one simple sentence! Which is wonderful!!!! Work with your child on having a picture that matched what their story is about.
If your child writes about going to the beach...they should be drawing themselves at the beach!
Have fun writing!!!
