This week in Reading Workshop...
We will present our Independent Research Projects during Reading Workshop on Monday and Tuesday. Then we will move on to Perfecting our Craft as readers. We will think about all of the things we've learned this year. We will make a list of all of the things we do as good readers. Then we will enjoy reading some fun fiction!
This week in Writing Workshop...
We will begin review the steps of the writing process. We will plan a story by creating a beginning, middle and end picture plan or draft. Then we will think about adding interesting characters, describing our setting and including a problem and solution. We will do things that real authors do as we write this week. We will also spend time thinking about how to revise and edit our work as writers. At the end of the week we will share our stories in the Author's Chair.
This week in Spelling we will be working on the long a sound spelled a couple of ways.
Rule: The long a sound is spelled a- consonant-e as in ape at the beginning or in the middle of a word.
The long a sound is spelled ai as in train when it is in the middle of a one syllable word.
Regular words: ate, made, bake, wait, pain, stain, grape
Challenge Words: amaze, inflate, escape, detail, complain, afraid, explain
This week in Math...
We will continue learning about fractions. This time we will follow and area model (think pizza) and relate equal parts to that model. We will discuss halves and fourths as equal parts or a whole.
This week in Social Studies...
We are going to relate Folktales and Fairy Tales to our study of culture in our community. We will read some folktales from other countries and cultures and discuss what they mean.
We will celebrate and learn about Earth Day on Monday. We will think about things we can do at home, at school and in our community to help the Earth everyday.
Have a great week!
