This week has gone by so fast!
We got to vote for a mascot this week!!  We voted for a bird and a mammal.  The owls won for birds, and the wolves won for mammals  Our next voting session will be in November.  This week we also had picture day and fire prevention week (we got to see a skit on fire prevention today!).

Math- Math groups are off to a good start! This week we finished our unit on equal groups.  We learned how to make arrays and do repeated addition. Our next unit is on place value.  We will be learning about tens and ones. We also took our STAR math this week.

Reading-This week we practiced the expectations for reading groups, as well as received our reading journals.  This is where we will answer questions about what we read. We also wrote down genres of books that we would like to read during group time.
For shared reading we are working on asking questions as we read.  We know that good readers ask questions before, during, and after reading.  See if your child can tell you the 5 w's!  We also took our STAR reading test this week.  These scores will be shared at parent teacher conferences.

Writing- We continued to work on using a plan sheet to guide our writing, while focusing on good details.  Next week we will dive deeper into good leads that "hook a reader."
