In readers workshop we've been focusing on being in charge of our comprehension and the strategies that help us do that. 

At the end of the week, we started discussing the importance of fluency while reading ('sounding like a storyteller').  This will be something we continue to practice and refine for the remainder of the school year.  At home,  encourage your child to reread smooth like a storyteller after fixing up a tricky part of a sentence or page.  The carry-over of language from the classroom to home is very powerful for children!

On Friday Mrs. Wolinsky introduced us to  the KIBO robot kit that will now be in our classroom!  This amazing recource will allow students to develop their building, programming, and problem-solving skills!  Learn more here: http://kinderlabrobotics.com/kibo/
