The Sneak Peek
Oct. 15th, 2018
It is hard to believe we are 1/2 through October, and that we have had 5 Hurricane days! Wow....I hope we have a mild winter. I apologize for the conferences we have had to reschedule but I appreciate your flexibility!
Reader's Workshop
We continue our character studies. Children are working with a variety of text to identify character traits, the character's feelings, and significant events in the text that promote change in the character.
Writer's Workshop
We continue to write new narratives and revise old ones. We are study mentor text, Owl Moon and The Leaving Morning, to help further develop our stories.
Math
We are finishing up our unit on arrays and will begin a new unit; Adding with 100 using strategies. We will be focused on using the partial sums strategy.
Example: 56 + 23 is 50 + 20 = 70 (Partial Sum) and 6 + 3 = 9 (Partial Sum). The final sum is 79 (Combined Sums)
Science
We are learning all about weather ...and haven't we had excellent real world examples! Children will work with thermometers, and studying the water cycle.
