Writing: (W1.1, 1.7, 1.8) Students will focus on including a topic sentence, 3 supporting sentences, and a closing sentence when writing an opinion piece in class.
Reading: (RL1.4, .5, .6) The students will practice using context clues to make meaning during reading workshop this week. An important strategy to help with comprehension is looking for evidence from the book or passage to aid in understanding what's been read.
Math: (1.OA.1, .2, B3, B4, C6, D8, ) We will wrap up our learning of fractions and telling time this week. We will continue our fluency assessments while at the same time working on adding 2 digit numbers.
