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.

Week of January 18th

I hope everyone is doing their best to stay warm!  Our students have been cooped up inside for quite a few days now!  I think it's safe to say we are all looking forward to outdoor recess!

This week in math we are continuing to work on strategies for addition and subtraction.  On Wednesday we will review the concepts we learned in Unit 4.  Students will be bringing home a unit 4 review as homework on Wednesday.  On Thursday we will have our end of unit assessment.

Our word wall words this week include:  what, where, why, when.  All of these words are used to start questions.

This week during writer's workshop the students are working hard to finish their final 'all about' teaching chapter book.  Next week we will have our end of unit Author Celebration!  The students are looking forward to sharing their writing.  Look in your child's folder for an invitation to our Author Celebration!  All family is welcome to join us!

This is our final week of our science unit all about matter.  We are continuing to learn about solids, liquids, and gases.  We will also talk more about how matter can change forms.

Remember - there is no school on Friday.
