Another new week!

As we begin another week, I wanted to take a moment to tell everyone what we will be doing this week in Readers and Writers Workshops.
Readers Workshop
We're going to be working on independent reading, shared reading, and partner reading. Make sure that your "book bags" do not leave the classroom!
Writers Workshop
Writing this week is going to be fun (well, it's always fun)! Late last week, we were introduced to our sourcebooks. Remember to bring it back to school with you EVERY DAY! We will be generating more of our own topics and picking a topic to begin a writing piece.
Phonics Skills Block- Short Vowels (a,e,i,o,u)
After looking over our short vowel activity that we did last week, I see we need a good refresher on short vowels! This week we are going to focus on short vowels, and our spelling words all have short vowels in them! When you come in every morning or afternoon, you will work on a short vowel activity. Sometimes it will be an independent activity, other times it will be a partner activity. Make sure that you are listening for the short vowel sounds!
