Week Of April 11th
Highlights from last week....
In Reader's Workshop, we worked on how readers think while they read. We used our schema as we read our books. The children worked on making text to text and text to self connections while they read. They practiced using the words "this book reminds me of....."
In Math, we worked on number bonds and number sentences up to 10. We focused on subtracting or "breaking numbers apart" this week. We focused on number stories and worked on writing the sentence and creating a number bond to match the sentence. We also focused on reading number sentences to determine if we should add or subtract the numbers in the sentence.
In Science, we continued our month long unit on life cycles. We focused on the life cycle of a plant this week. We read some non-fiction books and compared them to some fiction books that we have read.
In Social Studies, we concentrated on identifying sequential actions, such as first, next and last in stories and used them describe the life cycle of the plant.
In our Second Step program, we continued to learn about our own feelings and how they can change.
