Writer’s Workshop: we are continuing to explore Poetry this week. We will be creating different types of poems. Poems have patterns when words, phrases, or ideas are repeated or rhyme.
Reader’s Workshop: we will continue to explore the reading environment and what is needed to create a space for reading, as well as choosing ‘good fit’ books.
Mathematics: we will continue exploring Fractions this week and we will also be exploring telling the time on analog clocks and using calendars to notice significant dates.
Unit of Inquiry: We will continue our ‘How We Organise Ourselves’ unit of inquiry which is all about patterns - “Patterns in the world can influence how we organise ourselves.” This week is our Celebration of Learning. We hope you can make it!
