Week of September 28-October 2

It's the last week of September already! We can't believe have fast the star on our number line is moving! We will soon have two bundles of ten in our counting cups.
This week we will conclude our author/illustrator study of Kevin Henkes. We have enjoyed reading his stories and meeting his characters. We will be reading books about families this week. Our challenge assignment is to make a family tree!
In Writing Workshop, we will move on to how to write a how to paragraph. We will write one together as a shared writing activity on Tuesday and then the students will work on their own. We will conference as we go.
In math, we will make our own little abacus to help us add and subtract numbers through ten. We are also working on telling time.
Enjoy the week!
