The Sneak Peek

Class Curriculum
Reading - Through our studies about the Iditarod we have been studying realistic fiction. We are analyzing how characters respond to major events in the text. During our read aloud time we recently finished a historical fiction novel, I Survived the Sinking of the Titanic and have begun reading The Escape from Mr. Lemoncello's Library. This novel has the fun and intelligence of Charlie and The Chocolate Factory but also includes clues and codes that the reader must help solve! (It's one of my favorites)
Writing - We continue writing our fictional narratives with both realistic and fantasy adventures. We will be adding more detail to the body of our text this week.
Math - We continue to work with money. I encourage you to take your child along to the store over the next few weeks and help them add the cost of the items, pay for them and calculate the expected change. We will also begin telling time to the nearest quarter hour.
Science / Social Studies - Our studies are very integrated into our Iditarod unit. We are studying maps and geographical locations.
