Last Week
Last week we introduced the 4th choice in Daily 5, word work. During this time we can practice writing and spelling words. We now can read to self, work on writing, listen to reading, and do word work. This week we will start our last choice, read to someone! We are doing an excellent job of becoming better readers and writers during our Daily 5 time each day!
We had our first virtual guest reader on Friday. Thank you Mrs. Kirshenbaum for reading us a great book! We had a few technical kinks to work out, but the kids loved it!
You can still sign up to be a virtual guest reader. If you are interested in signing up to be a guest reader, let me know! We can do a google meet for the time you signed up OR you can record yourself reading a book and send it to us! We are flexible. Here is the link. It is also on my Google Classroom.

Our first book order has come in and has been delivered. I hope those of you that ordered books are enjoying them. A new order will come home this week and be due next week!
This Week
We will continue to work on the skills of identifying main idea and supporting details using the book, What Are Some Rules At Home? Ask your child if the rules we are reading about in school are the same as some you have at home.
In Science for the Weather Watching unit we will talk about how the weather changes with the seasons. We will use what the weather is like on their birthdays to make this point clear to them.
I hope you all had a fabulous weekend and I am looking forward to another great week with your children!
