Language Arts/Reading:
We are continuing with Words Their Way. The kids are doing great sorting their words and sounds. They have enjoyed doing a specific activity with their word cards each day. In Writer’s Workshop we will focus on two concepts: making booklets with 3 pages that show the beginning, middle, and end of a story. This should help to organize their stories. We will also explore revising and editing their stories using the words wall to correct misspelled words. This will be ongoing throughout Writer’s Workshop. We will continue with Reading Workshop and “Read to Self” time as well as “Read to Someone.”
Math:
The students have been working with telling time. It can be a hard concept to grasp, but most got it. We will re-visit telling time throughout the year. We are now moving on to place value. We will use whole numbers to describe and compare quantities. We will learn how to tell numbers that are less than, greater than, and equal to each other. We will also create sets of tens and ones to compare and order whole numbers. We will continue problem solving in our math journals, too.
Social Studies:
“Freedom Week” was a lot of fun! Please feel free to come in and check out the banner the kids made…so cute! We are finishing the Social Studies unit by learning about America’s important symbols such as: the Liberty Bell, the American Flag, the Statue of Liberty, the Bald Eagle, and the Great Seal. The kids will learn different facts of each and then complete their own book.
