Math: On Monday we will take our Unit 1 math test. This week we will meet with each of the students to go over their test and celebrate the parts they were successful with and then talk about what (if any) mistakes they made and how they can grow from those. This is part of a growth mindset and embracing mistakes as a way for us to recognize where we have room to improve!
Reading: This week we will start a new unit in reading that will take us one step closer to conventional reading. We will explore different types of books and work to understand the way the we can use both the pictures and the words to really read. Starting Friday, we will begin assessments to see exactly where students are at with reading skills so we are able to meet them right where they are at.
Writing: This week in writing we will move from writing about our favorite objects to writing about our favorite places. To do this work we will write across the pages of a book by thinking of the parts of the place we love. We will continue work to be brave spellers and try to add at least 5 labels to each page. Writers will also learn that they can make decisions about the words and pictures on their page and will look at the work of other options to inspire them.
Social Studies: As a culminating activity for our school study unit, students will pick a topic and present what they've learned! Here are a list of some topics they may choose:
- What problems do we have a school at school and who could help fix them?
- A map of our school helper offices and important places in school
- Choose one school helper and teach about their jobs and tools
After choosing a topic, students will create a poster or book to present about their topics. I can't wait to hear them present about what they have learned!
