January 14-18
Reminders:
Monday, January 21st – Martin Luther King Jr.
Holiday
Reading Workshop:
In Reading Workshop we begin learning how to draw
inferences. We will practice inferring with object and books. We will use the
clues on the cover of books and in the titles to draw a conclusion about the
story. We will do a special activity
during the week! Look for it in the
hallways.
We will also read and study Historical Fiction. We will read stories such as Apples to
Oregon, which is a fiction story with real historical details.
Writer’s Workshop:
In Writer’s Workshop we will be learning about Small
Moments. We will read mentor texts such
as Ezra Jack Keat’s The Snowy Day and discuss how authors take a small piece of
time and write about it in detail. We
will focus on writing stories from our own experiences. The students look forward to publishing and
sharing their work in the Author’s Chair on Friday.
Math:
In math we will begin our unit on Geometry. Next week we will focus on 2D shapes. We will manipulate shapes, draw pictures and
label the parts of each shape and solve problems involving shapes. We will discuss the attributes of shapes and
play “Guess that Shape”.
Social Studies:
In Social Studies we will continue our unit on Citizens Who
Shape our Community. This week we will
focus on contributors. We will learn
about the contributions of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln and Martin Luther
King Jr. We will make timelines to study
their lives. We will put important dates
on our timelines to show their achievements.
