Language Workshop We started our Author Study over Eric Carle this week. We read “Walter the Baker” and learned that the characters in a story are who or what the story is about. We also worked on what goes at the end of a sentence.	Math Workshop This week we continued our first module on Sums and Differences to 10. We focused on solving story problems. The students practice reading the story, drawing a picture to match and writing the number sentence to find the missing part.
Writing Workshop This week we continued to build our writing stamina and add illustrations to our writings.	Word Study This week we learned how to sort words into categories by listening for beginning and ending sounds.
Next Week In language, we will continue our author study on Eric Carle. We will continue working on our first module for math, Sums and Differences to 10. In reading, we will learn about the setting in a story. We will also learn about punctuation and practice using it correctly.
