Here's what we did today:

Social Studies: We previewed our book. We inferred what we would learn this year (Regions of the United States). We then started brainstorming on why we study certain subjects.

Science: We previewed our book. We began reading about science process skills.

Reading: We participated in Strategy Workshop. We focused on Predicting, Inferring, Phonics, and Decoding. Mrs. Plato is reading a story called "The Pumpkin Runner" to us, and we are practicing strategies of good readers.
