We started the week off with a read aloud in our classroom by our school founder. She continued reading Roald Dahl's "Witches" to our class and many students are simply entranced. What a lovely way to start the week!
In reader's and writer's workshops this week we are coming to the end of our unit and the discussion of story elements. we have looked for these story elements in the stories we have been reading and working hard to incorporate them into the stories we have been writing! We are so excited for the unit presentations in two weeks when we will be sharing the different artistic forms one can present a story with.
This week in math workshop we continued to work with the concepts of multiplication. Students were looking for patterns in numbers, skip counting and playing multiples games this week and the understanding of the concept is growing steadily. We are looking forward to our 100th day of school celebration this coming week to help us explore multiplication further!
