This Week, We...
- visited the Natural History Museum to examine butterflies and the ecosystems of the oceans for our Integrated Unit. We also read and researched how caterpillars go through metamorphosis to become butterflies.
- zoomed in on out topics for our informational stories in Writing Workshop. The Maples began to organize their stories in to chapters dedicated to a part of their overall topic.
- continued our new guided reading groups in Reading Workshop. We also focused on previewing books to identify characters and build excitement for reading.
- started a new math unit in Math Workshop and measured and compared objects in our classroom. We also worked on story problems and checking equations.
Next Week We Will
- begin researching systems in depth for our Integrated Unit.
- work on improving our fact sharing by including details in Writing Workshop.
