Writers Workshop-We are working on self assessing our own writing by using a rubric. We will begin publishing soon!

Concepts-We will continue to be scientist and study spiders next week!

Math Workshop-We are beginning addition and the kids are loving it! We will begin  with plus zero and plus one. We have been working on learning our doubles up to 5 and will begin learning our doubles to 10 soon. If you have an opportunity ask your child their doubles facts!
