Good afternoon!
I hope everyone had a good long weekend!
In Reader's Workshop, we are learning how to pay attention to text clues to infer meaning. One way we are thinking about this, is you stop and consider the author's purpose. This will help us figure out what the text means. While you read at home with your child, talk about the author's purpose. Ask your child what he or she thinks and ask them to support their thinking with evidence from the text.
In Writer's Workshop, we are learning how to notice features of nonfiction text. By doing this, we are learning what features to include in the nonfiction pieces we are writing. So far, we have learned about headings, photographs, and captions. You can expect to see these things in the pieces we publish.
In Expedition, we are learning about the tools that meteorologists use to measure, record, and communicate data about weather. We will be making our own weather tools, as well as creating a weather log, so that we can work like meteorologists too!
