December 11: No School
Reading: This week we will kick off a new unit called: Bigger Books, Bigger Reading Muscles. This unit builds perfectly off of Super Powers unit! This week we will learn to use a reading mat to organize our books from easy to more challenging and will then make a plan for the reading powers we will need to use to tackle our more challenging books. We will rely on using patterns that books give us, snap words, beginning sounds and picture support to continue growing as readers.
Writing: Writers have learned about so many ways to make their true stories easy to read. We will work with partners and use the following chart to make our writing the very best it can be! We can't wait to share their work on Thursday's family night! Hope to see you there!
Math: We begin Unit 3 this week, which focuses on identifying 10 groups in teen numbers, finding partners of a number (i.e. partners of 5 are 3+2 and 4+1), and addition and subtraction. When working on teen numbers, we want students to understand that a teen number is made up of a group of ten and extras. These are fun teen number puzzles to work on identifying the digit and quantity it represents. You could also work with teen numbers with toys at the house using this as a guide. Here is an easy way to practice working on partners of a number.
Social Studies: We have been using close reading to learn and think deeply about our holidays unit. So far, we have read books about Hanukkah, St. Patrick's Day, Kwanzaa, and Memorial Day. When we close read, we talk about vocabulary and discuss what the author is trying to teach us. We have learned so much about these holidays already!
