Reading: This week in reading we are continuing our word detective unit. We will be using our knowledge of letters, sounds, and words to read. We will look at beginning of words, watch out for special endings, look at vowel teams, and use word parts we know to read new words.
Writing: This week in writing we are working on teaching our readers how to do something. We will learn how to plan a book with our partners, start using "bossy" language, and work on gaining our readers attention at the beginning of our book! This week we are also writing a How-To Book as a class, to teach the school something new!
Math: The students have been working hard at solving subtraction and addition story problems in many ways and finding the most efficient way to solve it. This week we will relate addition and subtraction, learn about the vertical form, and start preparing for this Unit 2 test. This week in math you will get a homework sheet sent home on Thursday. We will start to send sheets home on Wednesdays for students to work on. You do not need to return it to school, we use this homework as a tool to show families what we are working on in school.
Science: This week in science we are going to start exploring space! We are going to build on what we learned on our field trip and start our unit with a close reading and asking ourselves some questions we have about space.
Word Work: This week in word work we are continuing our work with tapping out CVC words. We are also working on scooping up parts in our stories to sound fluent.
Questions to ask:
- What books are you reading this week?
- What are you teaching in your How-To book in writing?
- Are you writing a book as a class this week? What is the book about?
- Did you get math homework this week? Should we look at it together?
- What are you learning about space this week? What are some things you hope to learn about space?
