This week in Reading Workshop...
We are learning about Folktales. Today we watched Goldilocks and the Three Bears on Book Flix (available on the Library's web page). We thought about the elements of a fairy tale and made a chart of the elements of a folktale. We will read different Folktales this week and discuss the elements, characters and plot of each tale.
This week in Word Work...
This week we will have our first "real" spelling test. The students have done very well with their practice tests. I've posted the words on the blog according to each group. Your child's list may contain words from the First grade High Frequency List as well as words that fall into their "sound" for the week.
This week in Writer's Workshop...
We will continue working on our Fairy Tales. Our goal is to start editing and revising so we can share our stories in the Author's Chair on Friday!
This week in Math...
We will continue our unit on Geometry this week. We've learned about different 2 demensional shapes and their attributes. This week we will learn about solid shapes or 3 dimensional shapes and their attributes.
This week in Science and Social Studies...
We will finish our unit on Force and Motion with an Inquiry (experiement) about finding location. Later this week we will begin a unit on Economics in Social Studies. We will learn about wants versus needs.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Caballero
