Math: This week the mathematicians will be starting to review many of the concepts we have learned in unit 2. We will practice writing numbers using wikki sticks, paint in a bag, salt writing and more! We will learn about the characteristics of a hexagon and continue to review the characteristics of the other shapes we have learned. Students will apply their knowledge of the +1 and -1 patterns by playing different dice games.
Reading: Readers will learn that reading books is not just about using snap words, pointing, and starting to sound out letters, but also about making sure they understand what they are reading! We will work on retelling after reading, changing their voices to show they understand the book, and talking about their books with friends!
Writing: Writers will learn about the process of writing a sentence this week! A writer says a sentence in his/her mind, then writes it, writing word after word. Writers also reread often. They write a little, and the read a little, flipping back and forth to make sure that it sounds right and makes sense. They will also use a checklist to help them check over their work as they reread. Can you believe that these young writers are capable of such strong work?!
Researcher's Workshop: Students will experience different animal centers this week. The researchers will...
- Read books on different animals
- Look through animals books and then create a book of their own about what they've learned about different animals
- Sort, uncover, title animal photos
- Research animals using Pebble Go
- Use rubbing plates, feathers, and other various art supplies to create art
