Curriculum Updates
Weekly Math Update
- We have been reviewing our addition and subtraction facts to twenty with a specific focus on how we can use these strategies to help solve problems with numbers greater than 20. Students have been using a variety of manipulatives to help them solve equations and word problems.
Weekly Social Studies Update
Social Studies: We began looking at the communities we are a part of to kick off our first Social Studies unit. We will begin to dig deeper into the rights and responsibilities we have in specific communities.
Weekly Reading & Writing Update
Reading: Students are growing their reading stamina and learning about new strategies. We will continue work around picking just right books and strong reading habits.
Writing: In Writing we have been exploring where we can find ideas for ‘personal narratives’ and we are beginning to practice moving through the writing process.
