Winslow's Weekly Update
What's Happening in Room B-4
Reading
For the next three weeks we will be focusing on a couple of new reading strategies. The first is Fix-Up Monitoring. Good readers use strategies to clarify their understanding when comprehension breaks down. We will talk about ways to do this. 1. Reread to clarify. 2. Stop and think about what you read. 3. Ask questions. 4. Read ahead. 5. Talk about what you read. The second area of focus is on summarizing. We will practice how to tell what the story is mostly about.
We will learn about words that have the long o in words. The letters that make this sound are -oa and ow. ( boat, coat, slow, snow)
Math
This week we will be working on measuring to the inch, comparison and rotation of shapes and congruent shapes.
