Weekly Curriculum Update
READING - Students will be learning about the basic story elements in a fiction story. They will also learn the difference between fiction and non-fiction. We will be talking about characters, setting, main events in the story, and problem and solution. These are important concepts for students to understand to build comprehension. I am SO proud of our Reading Stamina in Daily 5. We are now up to 18 minutes! I hope that we can continue to build and maintain stamina. This week, we will be introducing Word Work and Read to Someone as our other choices during the Daily 5. I hope to begin reading groups in early October!
WRITING- Students have been working hard on thinking of what to write about and small moments to stretch out in writing. I have been encouraging them to be brave with sounding out words and to try not to worry about spelling the words correctly. It is important for them to get their thoughts down on paper. We will begin to talk about punctuation and capitalization in the next coming weeks.
SOCIAL STUDIES - Cubs and Bears will both be learning about the Character Counts character traits. We are working in an interactive notebook that helps them to think of concrete examples of the six character traits. We will also be discussing what a community is and what it means to be a part of a community.
SCIENCE- Last week, we ran out of time with Science, so we will be introducing our Scientist Lesson from last week, this week!
Have a Wonderful Long Weekend! See you on Tuesday!
