We are officially non-fiction experts in Room 3! And to celebrate we invited Mrs. Kirby's Kindergarten class to our room to hear us read and learn about our non-fiction topics and we invited Mrs. Lomuscio's first graders in to hear the books we wrote. Friday was a day of pride and showcase for room 3 and I hope students went home and continued to talk about all they worked on and achieved during our reading and writing non-fictions units.
This week will feel like more of a kick off to the New Year as we launch new units in word work, reading, and writing.
For word work, some students were placed in a new group today. A letter will go home this week with more information about how and why the groups were changed, but the intention is to better suit the students' weekly lists with the words I'm hoping they'll be able to spell independently in their writing.
Also, see below for a list of important and exciting things happening at McGovern over the next few weeks.
