Bag of Books, Writer's Workshop, and Letter of the Day

On Tuesday, students brought home their Home Bag of Books. Each student can take one book home to read with their parents and then bring it back the next day for a new book. In class, students will have an additional Bag of Books. This bag stays in the classroom and each bag can have five books. Students can change their books once a week. During Reader's Workshop, students can read to themselves with one of these books. Please send in a reusable shopping bag for your child so they can have their own Bag of Books.

 
Today during Writer's Workshop, we began writing a story about our favorite place to eat. Some of the writing topics included: McDonalds, Denny's, Chuck E Cheese, and Golden Corral. We will continue to work this topic for the rest of the week.

During Skills Block, we focus on one letter a day. We have already discussed the letters B, P, S, and T. Today we worked on the letter C. Students drew 3 pictures of words that began with C and wrote the word under the picture. They also practiced writing the letter C.
