READING
This week we will learn about fables. A fable is another type of story passed down from generation to generation and told to teach a lesson about something. Fables are about animals, plants, or forces of nature like sun or wind that can talk and act like people or cause things to happen in the story because of their strength. The most famous fables were written by a man called Aesop and this week we will read a variety of Aesop's stories.
We have been looking on Book Flix, RAZ Kids, Epic, Reading Rainbow and Speakaboos for Fairy Tales, Folktales and Fables!
I will be working on Reading Assessments for the next three weeks. My goal is to test 2-3 students per day so as not to disrupt our instruction/ learning time.

WRITING
In writing, we will continue writing expository texts. The children have made a list of things that they are expert at and can teach others. This week, they will write about their subject with details. Their goal is to teach others about something they are expert at and know so well. We will share these with our classmates.

MATH.
We will review place value in 2-digit numbers. We will work with tens and ones and compare 2-digit numbers. When comparing the two digit numbers, we will look at the digits in tens place first. If those are the same, then we will move to the digits in ones place. We will also examine the numbers in hundred chart and notice the patterns in numbers. For example, all numbers in one row have the same number of tens and all numbers in one column has the same number of ones. We will order the 2-digit numbers from least to greatest or greatest to least.
We've been using Kahoot to practice our skills!

SCIENCE
This week in science we will learn about force and movement. Energy causes force and force causes motion/movement. Force can be defined as a "push" or a "pull" which causes objects to move in different ways such as straight line, zigzag, up and down, side to side, round and round, fast and slow.
Today we talked about movement with a partner. The students worked together to come up with a small poster to show types of movement. We did a Gallery Walk to look at everyone's work and give constructive feedback to our classmates.
