Reading
This week we practiced using Daily 5 stations to keep us focused on a few new skills that we learned through our first story Charlie McButton Lost Power. We reviewed our literary elements which include characters, setting, plot, and theme. After lunch we took our first Reading Street comprehension test.
Math
In math, we are learning about equal groups along with using a number line for skip counting. The students are chanting different rhymes to help them learn their multiplication facts too.
Writing
We created autumn acrostic poems this week during Writer's Workshop along with Weekend News and Friday Finale. We are learning to use a variety of sentence starters and adding details to our writing.
Social Studies
Our first unit in Social Studies focuses on map skills. We learned about borders around the states and we compared a globe and a map using a Venn diagram.
PBIS
Our class Husky Store opened this week! The students can spend $20 on a classroom reward or $50 on a whole-school reward such as principal's chair, fall craft, morning announcements, eat lunch with the principal, or assistant manager for the HHS volleyball team. Keep earning those husky bucks!
