We will continue focusing on metacognition (thinking about our thinking) next week! Writing-We have been busy drafting our personal narratives this week! It has been a wonderful process and I am so proud of the kids. We will continue drafting next week. We will focus on adding transition words, strong feelings, and using interesting word choices.Math-We took our first official math facts test today! We will continue working through those each Friday (or end of the week if we don’t have school on a particular Friday!) We will continue our focus on unit 2. We are working our way through story problems and will focus our attention

On different addition and subtraction algorithms next week. Spelling-We started new sorts this week. We will continue practicing these sorts next week and will take a test on Friday!

The kids enjoyed doing some work with our dry erase maps this week and we will use those next week as well.
