It's hard to believe that this is the first week of Term 2! Here is a look at what we will be doing in class this week.
We will be discussing the author's message, lesson, or moral through read-aloud's this week. We will also follow up with these discussions during our guided reading groups over the next couple of weeks. Most of our guided reading time this week, will be spent doing individual reading assessments.
The kids are really enjoying writing personal narrative stories. This week the kids will begin a new story and we will discuss what it means to add "voice" to their writing. When they add voice, they should include feelings and make the writing come to life with sparkle and excitement!
Last week we finished our Apple Economics unit. We are excited to begin our next science unit this week, which is Properties of Matter. The kids will be introduced to the term "matter" and will learn that there are three states of matter- solids, liquids, and gases.
The main focus during math will be on subtraction. The children will find missing numbers and missing rules in "What's My Rule?" problems, learn to use the doubles facts to solve subtraction facts, and will use the going-back-through-10 strategy.
* Reminder that there is NO SCHOOL on Wednesday, November 11th for Veteran's Day.
