- we learned how to be the boss of our reading! We know that we can always use one of our many tools (the good habits for solving tricky words) to solve a tricky word. If the first tool doesn't work, we try another tool!
- We always ask ourselves if our reading sounds right, looks right, and MAKES SENSE.
- we learned that we can add different types of chapters to our all about books (ex. how to chapters or chapters that include lists)
- we learned that writers use a lot of details and comparison's in all about books.
- we started chapter 5 in math. We are continuing to work with place value and adding numbers to different multiples of 10.
