Writing: This week we will begin our narrative writing unit! We will begin generating small moment stories by thinking of people and places that are important to us. We will also practice storytelling our narrative pieces in order to bring out more scenes and details to make our work more powerful!
Reading: During reader's workshop we will continue building our reading lives by helping students find ways to share books and interests through supportive partnerships.
Math: This week we will begin Chapter 1: Place Value. We will work on place value through the thousands as well as ordering and comparing numbers.
***This week we will begin talking about the difference between a fixed and growth mindset. A fixed mindset is a belief system in which one believes that intelligence is something you are born with. A growth mindset is belief that you can grow your intelligence with hard work. For example, rather than saying "I can't do this", we will focus on saying "I can't do this, yet!" I am very excited to introduce this with our class! Make sure to talk about this with your child at home!
