Investigations in the Classroom
Reading: The Class Pet
We will be using this expository text introduce facts and opinions.
Questions to ask your student while reading at home:
Is ______________ (statement from a story) a fact or an opinion? HOW DO YOU KNOW?
Writing: Narratives
We are continuing our personal narratives. Many of our students are finishing up their rough drafts and will begin creating their final books using our Ipads.
Math: Place Value
In this math unit we will continue working on tens and ones and telling what is one/ten more or less than any number. This unit lays a very important foundation for when we start adding two digit numbers.
We are continuing to work on our Racing Through The Facts to help our students become more fluent at calculations.
