Language Arts
In reading, we will continue to use information gained from illustrations and words to demonstrate understanding of its characters, setting (where and when the story took place) and plot. We will practice completing story maps with this information.
In writing, we are beginning to write personal narratives, and will work on writing about a small moment. For instance, instead of writing about a trip to an amusement park, students will narrows the topic and focus on writing about their favorite ride of the day.
Math
This week we will continue working in Chapter 2 of My Math and will discuss repeated addition and how to make arrays. We will also look at how to read and create bar graphs.
I have graded and returned the first addition fact test. If your child passed, please help them study for the 2s which I will test on Thursday. If they did not pass the first addition fact test, please help them continue to study the 0s and 1s. If you would like to download flash cards to help your child practice addition facts, please click here.
Social Studies
The community projects look great! Everyone has done a great job of presenting their projects. We will finish giving presentations this week, and I will return the projects on Friday.
