Math, Science, and Social Studies
We will begin working on our 5 facts in math fluency this week. We will have our accuracy check on the 5 facts next Friday. Continue to work with your child on their math facts each night. The fact cards are in your child's pencil pouch. Also, continue to work on all previous facts: 2's and 10's.
Science-Last week we completed the "Drops on a Penny Lab" and "Drops on a Penny Variable Lab". Students learned how to use the scientific method to write up each lab. Students learned that there are sometimes variables that affect the outcome of different experiments.
This week we will begin the study of the human eye. Students will create an eye model and learn how each part of the eye works with the brain to create what we see. We will also read aloud Wonder.
Reading, Writing, and Word Study
Reading--We will take a pre assessment before beginning our first reading unit of the year. On Wednesday we will launch reading workshop and begin a unit on Interpreting Characters: Getting to the Heart of the Story. We will be reading The Tiger Rising aloud in class. Students will also have a self-selected chapter book to be reading during workshop time.
Writing--We will be discussing what Writer's Workshop should look and sound like. We will also be creating writing territories in our Writer's Notebooks. We will write the room, and we will begin looking at the steps of the writing process.
