One Book One School: The Lemonade War
Lemonade War Reading Buddies!
What we are Learning!
Last week we focused on words with r blends. (br. cr, dr. gr, fr, pr, tr)
Focus Words: into, under
This week there will be no new words, we are going to review s, l, and r-blends.
**No spelling test this week!**
This week, students reviewed elements of fiction (characters, setting, retelling, and central message).
Students continued to work on their animal all about book. These will be coming home at the end of the week.
Students learned to subitize, which is to identify the number of things in a set simply by quickly looking at them—not by counting them one by one. We counted by groups of ten.
Students started learning about rocks by describing their properties.
