Reader's Workshop:
This week in Reader's Workshop we learned how readers get super smart about nonfiction topics! So far, we have learned about three things that readers can do to help them to get super smart about nonfiction topics. Ask your child to tell you what they are (listed on the chart paper below:)).
Writer's Workshop
This week in writer's workshop we began working on "All About Me" books. First graders came up with different headings for their all about books, for example; My Family, My Favorite Foods, Sports I Like, etc. Ask your child what their different headings are for their all about book. They also began to write about some of their headings. We also talked about "calling the COPS" on our writing. This is a tool to help us to make sure hat we are using capital letters, organizing our work, adding punctuation and making sure we're checking the word wall for spelling words.
