Reading: This week as Super Avid Readers we will look more closely at non-fiction or informational texts and how we can really learn from what we read in them. To pique our interest in looking more closely at non-fiction topics we will watch this video. The kids do seem to really like this video and learn so much from watching it, but some may find it a tad scary a first. There will be lots of discussion around it so I wanted it to be available to you as well :). Some of the ways we will work with non-fiction books this week we will be: to use new vocabulary we have learned about our topics when talking about our books, finding multiple books on a topic that interests us and comparing and contrasting various books we read
Writing: Writers will pick a how to book to revise, edit and make their best this week. We will use the charts below to help us make sure our writing teaches all it should and is easy for others to read!
Math: This week we will begin Unit 4. The main concepts of this unit are finding partner numbers for 6-10 and identifying 3 dimensional shapes. The unit also reinforces teen number composition and decomposition. Please note that any partner work within 6-10 is expected to be done with math tools and drawings and students are by no means expected to be fluent in knowing their facts or partners to 10. We will continue to work toward automaticity with addition and subtraction within 5. Did you know there are 21 addition facts from 0-5 that students need to be automatic with?!
Science: The scientists will spend next week rotating through centers to gather and share information about plants. The centers are:
- Plant photographs--students can sort, label, and discuss the photographs
- Books--students will look through and read plant books
- Ipads--students will research plants on Pebblego
- Art--scientists will create plants using different art materials
The scientists will take notes about their learning and will compile all of this information together to share in the form of a poster or presentation.
