Welcome back!!

A week off to play in the sun and melting snow has done wonders for all. With tri-conferences just 3 weeks away, everyone's come back ready to tackle new learning with enthusiasm. Let's hop to it 2J!!

Writer's Workshop and The Miraculous Journey of Edward Tulane

We have finished our novel study and closely examined the writing style of Kate DiCamillo. She made us care about Edward and wish that this story would never end. Now we are writing in her style and creating a story about our own stuffies and their miraculous journey, using these writing targets:

*I can write and follow a plan.

*I can begin my story in the style of K.DiCamillo.

*I describe my stuffie in vivid detail.

*I SHOW not TELL how my stuffie and I feel about each other.

*I use interesting words in my writing.

READING TARGET

*I tune in to interesting words and use new vocabulary in speaking a writing

MATH TARGETS

*Please check out Math for the left and right brain under new math websites

*I use my mental math strategies to help me add double digit numbers

with no-regrouping and with regrouping.

*I use my mental math strategies to solve problem solving questions.

BEHAVIOR TARGETS

*I co-operate with the group to get the job done.

*I participate in group discussions.
