Reading  = This week, we will be continuing look at non fiction text features.  We will use articles and a variety of magazines to think about why the author used the text features they did.  If you child is reading a nonfiction book at home please have them do the same.

Writing = At the end of the last week, Team Meyer had the option of writing their draft on paper or on a Google doc.  Whichever way they chose I was excited to see the ideas flowing!  This week we will look at our word choice and conventions for our writing pieces.

Math = This was the first week Team Meyer had much more voice and choice within their learning.  We creating and reflected on a Must/May do list option during Workshop.  Their Must Do's include: My Math pages, working with Mrs. M, Fact practice, and work on Aleks.  Their May Do's include: Hour of Code (a team favorite), fact practice, chapter games.  So far, I have been very impressed with the way Team Meyer has been making choices.

Spelling = Team Meyer and their Words their Way spelling groups are up and running well.  They will receive new words on Monday (Tuesday this week), work with their words throughout the week, and be tested on Friday.
