Reading Workshop
Your children are blowing me away with their insightful contributions during the end of our Character unit!!! I can't wait for you to see our final project and the depth of your child's thinking. Hopefully, we will finish this at the beginning of the week. Next up is a nonfiction unit. We will begin looking at the text features of a variety of nonfiction texts. Then we will learn how to do a close read of a text and how to make notes on text.
Writer's Workshop
We are still working on our personal narratives. We are also writing in all subject areas. The students continue to work on writing cohesive paragraphs.
Social Studies
We started our Ancient Egypt unit. So far we have studied the geography of the country and the importance the Nile River played on the development of this civilization. This week our focus will be on learning vocabulary. We will be reading a nonfiction book about Ancient Egypt together during the course of this unit.
Math
Our class is rocking multiplication! We started with repeated addition, making arrays, and learning about the commutative property. This week we will write multiplication stories and use arrays to solve basic multiplication word problems. We will have a short test on these concepts this Thursday so I can assess the students understanding before moving onto learning facts. We will begin learning x2 and x5!
Science
Our Plant Growth and Development unit is almost finished. We pollinated our plants and we are observing the development of seed pods. Be on the lookout for all of our work to come home this week!
