Writing:
We have picked our topic for our All About Books and now students are working on creating their chapters. We are working on explaining the facts we know and not telling a story with them. After all our chapters are written, we will turn the finished product into a book.
Reading:
Since we are focusing on nonfiction in writing, it only makes sense to figure out the difference between fiction books and nonfiction books. Students will sort through features of fiction and nonfiction texts and even come up with a fiction and nonfiction book pairing!
Math:
After a quick review of our addition strategies, students are ready to move into adding 3 or more numbers together. We will work through some strategies such as finding a doubles fact or making a ten to make it easy on ourselves. Students will work through our daily math stations where they have the opportunity to play review games, complete journal activities, practice independently, and work on new skills with me!
Social Studies:
We are learning about traditions from all over the world and we will continue that this week. Students will be completing research on foods eaten in different countries and popular games and sports played around the world.
Homework this week is to talk about a celebration you participate in as a family and students will fill out an information page on it. This will go home on Tuesday and will be due by Friday.
Reminders:
Halloween: No costumes! But kids are welcome to wear their pajamas!
Question of the week: where the tradition of Halloween start?
