I have continued to assess students and will finish tomorrow, just in time to send homework books home next week (a letter will come home about this on Wednesday). This also means next week I will start reading groups. We have also started our first Fundations unit. We are studying digraphs, which are two letters that make one sound (sh, th, ch, wh, ck)
Today in writing we continued to work on our Small Moment stories. This unit focuses on stretching out a small moment to fill several pages. Today we learned that before writing, writers plan how a story will go. One way they do this is by telling the story over 5 fingers and jotting down key words. Writing key words is a skill that will take a lot more practice! But we will get there. :)
It was very hot in our room today, so we did our writing outside. Check out some pictures below.
