In reading we are working on "I wonder" statements based on the nonfiction books we are reading. We will be discussing turning them into questions this week.

In English we are working on revising our chosen draft.  We will finish revising, edit it, and publish it to share with our class.  We will continue reviewing subject and predict and introduce verbs.

Our schedule this week looks like:
Monday: Day 4: Guidance and Art
Tuesday: Day 5: P.E.
Wednesday: Day 6: Music
Thursday: Day B: STEAM and Music
Friday: Day 1: Art

During our class meeting we brainstormed ideas for making our classroom library run more smoothly. The students expressed a need for more time to AR test and book shop.  We changed our morning routine to add more time for this.  Students also wanted to be able to write book reviews over books they have read. I have put together a book review sheet and bulletin board from them to hang on. We will begin completing reviews this week.
