Group Update

In Resource Reading, we are learning about Memoirs and using Patricia Polacco books to learn questioning and visualization strategies. We are also using the Fonatas and Pinnell Phonics and Word Study program.

Resource Math groups are using
Investigations and following along with what the class is doing. We are seeing some good success with this different approach to math.

CM Reading groups are working on comprehension strategies of questioning, predicting, and analyzing the character's feelings to better understand the text.

CM Math groups are working on number concepts like making a ten, adding to get to 100, and finding factors.

We are making good progress and I will give more specific updates and strategies as we go along.
