Language Workshop We continued our Author Study over Eric Carle this week. We read “Pancakes, Pancakes” and learned about the characters and setting in the story.  We also practiced using the correct punctuation at the end of sentences.	Math Workshop This week we continued our module on Sums and Differences to 10. We focused on solving story problems. The students practiced reading the story, drawing a picture to match and writing the number sentence to find the missing part.
Writing Workshop This week we started our first unit on narrative writing.  We learned to prewrite and use our writing binders to keep organized.	Word Study Group A worked on words that start with the “j” “h” and “ch” sound. Group B worked on the the “-an” and “-ad” word families.
