Week of November 30 - December 4, 2009

This week during Writer's Workshop we included how we feel about the small moments we are writing about. We refer to it as writing about the outside and inside of the story. In Reader's Workshop we continued to look at Mercer Mayer stories to talk about the problem and solution in stories. In Math we finished our unit on shapes and are moving onto Unit 3: Addition, Subtraction and the Number System. We wrapped up our study of the past and present with a fun filed trip to the National Museum of American History (see below) and started a new social studies unit about geography and culture. Due to camera issues I apologize that I do not have any pictures of the children for the blog this week.
