Language Workshop We continued our author study on Kevin Henkes. This week we read Sheila Rae the Brave and Lilly’s Purple Plastic Purse. We worked on identifying inflectional endings (-ed, -ing, and -s). We also used context clues to help us find the meaning of unknown words.	Math Workshop This week we wrapped up Module 2. Students focused on making a ten for addition and taking from ten for subtraction. Then we reviewed solving addition and subtraction problems by using our favorite strategies. We took our assessment today.
Writing Workshop We continued writing narratives. Students are working hard to add detail and use linking words in their stories. We have also been focusing on using bold beginnings and excellent endings.	Next Week Next week we will finish our author study on Kevin Henkes In math, we will start Module 3 - Measurement and Graphing. In writing, we will finish narratives.
