Coming Up...
Reading-We will continue to integrate our science and reading. Anchor Text-From Seed to Plant & Soil (Informational text) /Ugly Vegetables (narrative text) The target strategy that we will continue to hit hard is checking for understanding. It is so important that students are aware, as they read, their level of understanding. Currently, we are practicing pausing after each paragraph, page, or small chunk of text, and figure out their level of understanding. We have been labeling our understanding-"Crystal Clear, Foggy, or In the Dark" If students are "foggy" or "in the dark" then they will need to go back and utilize their fix-it strategies.
Spelling-au, aw
Writing-We will be finishing up our final Genius Hour projects, and our Homework Excuse projects.
Science -Plants Last week we planted our Garden in a Glove project. Next week we will be observing our gardens and recording our data.
