A look at the week ahead....
Writing
We will continue working on our Opinion Unit. This week's focus is going to be on lively leads that state the writers opinion, but also grab the reader's attention. The students will also begin writing their first piece, which is a restaurant review. They will be encouraged to have supporting details and linking words to help with their transitions.
Reading
In reading, we will continue working in small, guided groups at the students' instructional level. Our focus will be on making connections and predictions before, during, and after reading. These strategies help to increase the students reading comprehension.
Math
We will be working on addition problems with three addends, comparison number stories, and on data collection (sorting, tallying, and graphing data).
Content Areas
In Science, we will be taking our Properties of Matter assessment on Wednesday. We will also begin our next Social Studies unit, which is on Mapping Skills. The students will learn about Cardinal Directions and how to use a Compass Rose to help them understand a map.
Exciting Project
This week the students will get to create their own "Snow Friend" and write a descriptive paragraph about their friend (what he/she looks like, likes to do, etc). Then, the students will design their own wintery snow globe!
