Week of 1/25

This week in math we will begin a ten day exploration unit.  Students will be working with their peers and using the bead rack to develop addition and subtraction strategies, as well as increase their number structuring skills.  During this unit we will not have a math homework packet; instead individual practice sheets will come home daily.

Our word wall words this week include:  blue, his, red, show

During writer's workshop we will be wrapping up our unit of study on informational writing.  Students are looking forward to sharing their writing during our Author Celebration on Tuesday afternoon.  On Wednesday afternoon students will have their end of unit writing prompt to demonstrate their independent writing skills.  Our next unit of study will be opinion writing.

Last week we wrapped up our science unit of study on matter.  This week we will switch to social studies and learn about economics.  Our topic for this week will be earning money and saving and spending money.
