Writing:
We are continuing to work on our All About Books. Students are responsible for coming up with at least four chapters about the topic in which they are an expert. Students will write their chapters, create a table of contents, add in a map or diagram, and then put the entire thing together. I am looking forward to learning about all of their topics!
Reading:
We are reading Those Shoes by Maribeth Boelts and are talking about how to show generosity at school and at home, a perfect lesson as we are approach Thanksgiving! We will also use clues the author gives us and our schema to makes inferences to figure out the message.
Math:
This week we are practicing a few more addition strategies before moving into subtraction. Even though these strategies are a review for most students, having the fundamentals down before moving into bigger numbers is so important! We will practice combinations of ten, part part whole models, and related facts.
Social Studies:
We have learned so much about the traditions of other countries and we are excited to learn about what we celebrate within our class. Thank you for taking the time to talk about a celebration with your child. We will go over these papers this week.
Question of the week: Research a celebration from a different country that you don't already know about. Tell me where the country is, what is being celebrated, and what people do to celebrate.
Have a great week!
