ROYALTY NEWS
directly from the castles of MacNeil and Leonard
Land of READ-A-LOT
Maidens and Lords continued using story clues and schema to make inferences. We read a story called Good-Bye 382, Shin Dang Dong. Our focus was on the main character Jangmi and how she was feeling about her move from Korea to America. Maidens and Lords are becoming quite good at using schema and story evidence to complete this challenging strategy!!
Missions in Math
The Kingdom has focused their attention on estimating and addition properties this week. Students utilized the properties to complete basic story problems.Students also worked independently on engaging centers and problem solving questions.
Soaring in Social Studies
Students continued to work on their Real World Experience. Some Maidens and Lords even planned a second or third route to see if they could find a more efficient way to travel!! Task 2 of the Real World Experience is complete. Students will be studying addition and subtraction skills next week in math. Once these concepts are strong, students will be completing task 3 and 4 of the Real World Experience.
WRITING that is Worthwhile
Th Kingdom has continued to build writing stamina!! Students are learning the expectations of Writer's Workshop as well as writing in their journals for extended periods of time! Maidens and Lords were introduced to the writing trait called "Organization" this week.
