Reader’s Workshop
Ask your child: In the Read Aloud Junie B.
Jones, Turkeys We Have Loved and Eaten Mrs. Smoral is modeling how good readers monitor their reading to make sure their reading makes sense.
I am learning that I may need to infer, or use clues in a story, to answer a question or questions about what I have read.
Ask me what new facts I have learned as I have researched the First Thanksgiving using websites and books.
What are some text features that help me find information in nonfiction books?
Ask me to retell the story, A Turkey for Thanksgiving. I learned stories like this with dialogue can be written as a Reader’s Theater.
I learned some Thanksgiving songs! Ask me to sing these songs!
Ask me what I have learned about Colonial Times as I read a Question/Answer book with my reading partner.
Writer’s Workshop: Ask your child: I wrote a list of what I am thankful for in my life. I created a “Thankful Turkey” for someone and then wrote a
letter of thanks to that person. I created a turkey in disguise and then wrote about my
turkey! Ask me to log into Google Classroom and share my work!
I am working on spelling, capitalization and punctuation in all my writing pieces.

kind of clocks are on the markers? What patterns have I observed in the November calendar grid?
I am learning that multiplication is repeated addition as I continue to learn how to describe rectangles by rows and columns.
I continue to add and subtract two and three digit numbers using the open ended number line strategy. I am learning there are always multiple ways to solve problems.
This week I solved lots of story problems. I know I need to write an equation then solve the problem and show my work. I’m writing story problems too!
What Work Places did I visit this week during Math Workshop? What is your favorite Work Place Game? Who did I play a game with? As I play the games I explain my thinking to my partner.MATH VOCABULARY: unknown, decompose, difference, odd, even, greater than, less than, thousand, related facts, fact families, estimate, place value, digital clock, analog clock, elapsed time.
Word Study: Ask your child: I worked with my spelling partner and practiced my word
study words. Ask me the different ways I practice my words at school.
Each day I “harvest” new vocabulary words during reading. I try to use these words in conversations and in my writing.
