In Writer’s Workshop we continue our learning about Small
Moments. We will learn to shorten our
prewriting as we draw across pages to sketching instead. We will add details to our writing in words
and sentences. We will also thinking
about extending our story beyond just a beginning, middle and end to telling a
story across 5 fingers.
Words Their Way:
Green: ig, ip, ill word families
Blue: p, l, pl blends
Red: Contractions
Reading Workshop:
In Reading Workshop we will learn about how Media Literacy communicates
messages to us. We will examine
newspapers, magazines and advertisements.
We will read and think about the message the author is trying to send
the reader. At the end of our unit we
will make our own advertisements! Be
looking in our hallways for our work!
Math:
In math we will continue our unit on Geometry. We will focus on 3D shapes. We will learn about the attributes of 3D
shapes and what makes them special. We
will focus on vocabulary such as flat surfaces, vertex, and vertices.
Science:
In Science we will begin our Earth Science unit on Natural
Resources, Rocks and Minerals. A note
along with a baggie will be coming home for your child to bring back an
artifact. We will discuss
characteristics of living versus non-living things. We will discuss how natural resources are
used and how we can help conserve them.
