The highlight of our week this week was surely our field trip to the Conant Farm!  We want to extend a huge thank you to the Conant family for graciously inviting us to visit their farm.  It was such a fun and informative experience for us all!


We also: 


  • Learned about making text-to-text connections during our reading workshop and continued to think about text-to-self connections as well.

  • Started learning about short /a/ word families during our word study time

  • Began our second math unit which focuses on geometry

  • Continued to discuss our Richmond community and the jobs/people that help with our day-to-day lives

  • During our writing workshop, we learned the importance of choosing a “seed” topic for our stories versus choosing a “watermelon” topic for our stories.


A BIG thank you to all of our families for taking the time to meet with us during our parent/teacher conferences!  Your partnership makes a difference!!
