Student of the Week
Charley
Reminder - to participate in the next classroom reading reward, children need to read for 20 minutes for 21 days. We have practiced writing down the beginning time, the ending time and setting the timer for 20 minutes by using the iPad in class. Please have them continue this at home.
Language Arts
Our focus will be opinion writing. We will be reading and discussing several stories: Stella Writes an Opinion, What Pet Should We Get?, A Fine, Fine School, The Day the Crayons Quit, and Hey Little Ant. The children will write an opinion paper using an introduction/hook, support reasons with text evidence and a conclusion.
Math
This week we worked on adding near doubles by either adding or subtracting one. Next week we will be working on three strategies for subtracting: counting back, using addition to subtraction, and making ten.
Social Studies
We have finished our unit on nutrition and completed the unit test. We will begin our social studies, Unit 1, Where We Live. The vocabulary words for this unit are: law, vote, community, history, urban, suburb, rural and capital
