On Friday, March 2, we will be celebrating Read Across America Day. Please allow your child to bring 5-7 books from home. We will be learning all about Dr. Seuss's life and books that he wrote. We will spend time reading as we celebrate this fun day!
In Reading Workshop...
This week we will think about all of the strategies good readers use as we begin an Author Study of Dr. Seuss! We will learn all about his life and how he made reading fun for so many children and adults! We will read books that he has written and research about his life!
Reading Homework:
Continue to read books on RAZ Kids and take the quizzes. iXL is available for math practice as well. I will email the optional TIC TAC Toe homework!
In Writer's Workshop...
This week we will revisit Small Moments stories. We will take an event from our life experiences and explode it. We will explore how authors write their stories and add details to help us really imagine what it was like to be there in that moment.
In Math...
We are finishing up our unit on Addition Strategies. We've learned how to count on using a number track or number line. We've practiced making ten and counting the leftovers. We've used visual models to represent joining two amounts. Now we will apply these strategies and solve problems!
In Social Studies...
We will be exploring the concept of Spending and Saving. We will talk about how you must save money for things you want and "just in case". We will explore what it looks like to budget your money for the things you need like shelter, electricity and water and the things you want!
In Science..
We will being exploring Mammals. We will learn about the characteristics of a mammal and their life cycle. We will explore how mammals move, eat and where they live.
This weeks life skill is Creativity: to generate ideas; to create something original or redesign through imaginative skill.
