Language Workshop This week we read Sounds.  We focused on text features. We used the table of contents to find different topics and we also found definitions in the glossary. Students should also be able to identify the title and headings in a non-fiction book.	Math Workshop This week we continued working in Module 2. We focused on making a ten when adding with the numbers 9 and 8. We have learned how to draw a picture and make a number bond to help us make a ten.
Writing Workshop We continued our informational writing. We are still focusing on prewriting, drafting, editing, and publishing.	Word Study We worked on silent e, blends, and digraphs.
Next Week Next week we will assess over blends and digraphs. We will finish up Topic A in math and take an assessment. We are also working to find each student’s independent reading level.	Important Dates 12/14-Winter Program 7pm @ HS Auditorium 12/19-Christmas Party 12-1         Dismiss at 1:15
