*This Friday is
the Give a Hoot Family Picnic. Please
join us on the Oak View side as we raise money for Caraway Students and
celebrate our community! The Caballero’s
will have a blanket and a picnic! Come
and join us!
Math: They will also continue to explore, in this
unit and throughout the year, a variety of addition/subtraction problem
situations including joining, separating, part-part-whole, and comparing, with
different unknowns: result/change/start, or part/whole or difference, in order
to develop an understanding of the operations of addition and subtraction. This
week we will have an assessment to show that we mastered these math concepts!
Reading Workshop:
This week in reading workshop we will continue
reading and studying nonfiction/expository texts. This week our focus will be on reading nonfiction books about spiders
and using our reading time to research and learn facts that we don’t already
know about them. This unit will
extend into writing workshop too. We will also spend some time on comparing and contrasting fiction vs. nonfiction
books on spiders. This is fun unit
and the kids always have fun researching with this unit! Be sure to ask your child what they learned
this week about spiders!
Writing Workshop: During the next several weeks in Writer’s Workshop, we will be
learning how to write expository texts to communicate ideas and information
that we are learning. Our learning this
week will focus on bats and begin with KWL charts in which we will write down
facts that we already “know”; then write down questions that we “want to know”;
and conclude with an informative writing that communicates what we have learned
about bats. Please be watching for our work to begin filling the halls this
week as our new unit of study unfolds.

Apple Group: sniff, igloo, mile, tiny, supply
Red Group: kick, kid, hunt, cub, thump
Blue Group: had, chin, chop, can, hose
