We continued our Yahtzee tournament today and with a double elimination, it is taking a little longer than I had thought but we should be into the finals tomorrow. I will also be working in small groups on some review skills with those already eliminated. We read Puddlejumpers and are finally into the present which helps us to understand a little bit more. In Reader's Workshop, we worked more with What's the Word? for vocabulary as well as reading a TFK about standardized testing and reading. In Writer's Workshop, some kiddos received Spelling Tickets for misspelling of words within their writing. This will be a focus for this week as we've talked about HOW to use resources to find spelling of unknown words.
