READING
We will continue our study of expository/nonfiction text. As a class we discussed the features of nonfiction such as real photos, table of contents, glossary, caption, labels, index, diagram, and maps. We concluded that the purpose of reading nonfiction text is to learn! We also learned the differences between fiction and nonfiction. This week we will learn about the main idea in a book vs. the most important information in the book. When we read nonfiction, the cover, the title and the pictures in the book will help us to understand the main idea of the book. The important facts and information are related to the questions that we might have before or during reading the book.
Last week we learned about Bats. The story Stellaluna is read by Pamela Reed on Storyline Online. Here is the link if your child wants to listen! It's a great way to compare what we've learned about nonfiction to a fictional story!

WRITING
We will continue writing nonfiction. We are learning how to draw careful diagrams like scientist and label the parts. Our goal is to write important facts that we learn after reading nonfiction texts and write them in our own words. We are writing facts so we can teach others about what we have learned. We will also ask questions before, during and after our reading. We will look for the information we need to answer our questions! We will record our answers on our chart!

So far, we have been working on place value. The children have learned the place of a digit in a number matters and depending on its place. A digit can represent tens, or ones. This week we will continue learning about building numbers to 99 using ten sticks (base ten blocks) and ones. We will also compare numbers, or finding 10 less, or ten more than a number using number line or hundred chart and review the vocabulary, greater than, less than or equal to. We will apply our knowledge of number line and number comparison to solve everyday math problem.
SCIENCES
This week in science we will learn about different forms of energy such as light, heat and sound. We will discuss the importance of energy in everyday life and how scientists use energy to invent objects that improve our daily lives. We will use our iPads to learn more about Energy and record our learning. We're even trying to post what we've learned in Google Classroom so we can collaborate!
