IPS/Butler University Laboratory School

In Reader’s Workshop, we are continuing to use different strategies to help us when we are stuck on a word.  Today we learned how to “back up and reread” when we figure out a read.  Isabella shared how backing up and rereading helped her figure out the word “important.”

During Word Study we started learning about Word Families.  We read a story called The Fat Cat Sat on a Mat and we listed all the -at family words.  Then students worked in buddies to come up with words in the -ot and -ut families.

We also started discussing homework today.  Next week, the students will have additional homework with the reading log.  This week we are practicing the homework together so that your child will be independent at home! Each homework will have two math problems, a word study activity, and a writing section.

Friends practice the first part of the homework!
