For the week of Jan 31-Feb 4

Hello!

This past week, students continued to develop their understanding of how to organize and structure information texts in writers' workshop. They researched number and animal words in Blackfoot and began work on a "Counting Book" to demonstrate their understanding of both. Don't forget to check in with your child and view their Math Metacognition journal posts on MyBlueprint (please let me know if you have been unable to log in).
