Curriculum Updates
In writing, we launched our narrative writing unit. During this unit, students will write about a small moment in their life and expand their story with details including: feeling, action, sound, thought, and dialogue. This week, we are brainstorming people, places, and things that are important to us.
Reading
In Reading, we are reviewing key strategies strong readers use while reading. Such strategies include: how to find a just right book, comprehension check, asking questions, and making predictions.
Math
In math, we launched our week of inspirational math activities. This is a great way to kick off our year of growing as mathematicians. During these activities, students will learn that anyone can be a "math person" and that our brains are always growing and learning new information. Next week, we will review key concepts from second grade.
Social Studies
Next week, we we will begin our unit on Massachusetts Geography. To start the unit, students will learn to locate Massachusetts on a map and identify major cities and towns in our state.
