Math: The Count On subtraction strategy is
introduced in this unit. The primary strategy for subtraction is “Think Addition;”
therefore, students need to have mastered the Count On addition facts prior to introducing the
Count On subtraction strategy. Count On Addition (5+1=6, count on one example) was
introduced in the fall semester. Students will be working on problem
solving situations during this time as well.
Reading Workshop: This
week in Reading Workshop, we will talk about asking questions before, during
and after reading. We will learn why it
is important to ask questions and what types of questions we might want to
ask. We will also talk about how
sometimes our questions aren’t answered…and that’s ok!
Word
Study:
Green Group: sh, ch, th, and wh diagraphs
Blue Group:
p, l, and pl blends
Red Group:

Writing Workshop: This
week we will be thinking and writing about important events from our year so
far for our class timeline. We will be
taking our writing all the way through the writing process. We will revise, edit and finally publish our
timelines, and then we will present them in the hallway.
Science: This
week we will learn about the objects in the sky. We will observe the
sun during the morning, noon and afternoon and notice that how the position of the sun seems to
change in the sky. We will learn about the moon and the stars and how the moon
appears to change in the night sky. This week we will be
the super scientists who make careful observations and record their
observations in their journal.
Habit #1: Be Proactive. I am responsible. I am in charge of my actions. I choose my actions, attitude, and mood.
Reminders:
*Please
remember to send a healthy snack every day. Snack time is @ 9:30am.
*Make sure
your child wears tennis shoes every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
*Library
day is Tuesday.
*Please
remember to send back your child’s orange folder and homework bag every day.
*It helps
me tremendously if you leave the reading response notebook and books in the
homework bag every day. We use them at
school!
