Week 2 (2nd 9 Weeks)

We had a busy week of learning with Storybook Character Day in the middle! It was great to see the kids so excited to share their books and costumes with each other!

We took some time in class today to finish our RAZ kids assignments. They know they need to listen, read and answer questions for each book to be complete. I will assign new books today. Also please return report card envelopes and data binders by Monday.

Next Week...

Math: Students will use the language of subtraction with lots of opportunities to explore subtraction situations with words, pictures, objects, and numbers. Students will also explore with 2D and 3D shapes.

Science: Students will identify and describe natural sources of water including streams, lakes, and oceans.

Reading: Students will identify the main idea and important details in their reading.

Writing: This is the second week of a three-week study on How-To writing. This week the focus is using transition words, writing an introduction, using detailed pictures to teach, and revising and editing with a partner.

Balanced Literacy: In Social Studies, students will be learning about the importance of voting and Veteran’s Day. In Phonics, students will continue to practice locating and reading high frequency words.
