This week in Reading Workshop...
We will begin learning about Expository Texts. We will explore the differences between Fiction and Nonfiction texts. Then we will examine nonfiction text features such as photographs as pictures, diagrams, headings and table of contents. We will begin reading nonfiction texts in our small groups. We will discuss nonfiction texts and the purpose for reading them, to learn. This week we will focus our learning on Bats.
This week in Writing Workshop...
We will wrap up our unit on Small Moments. We have been hard at work thinking of ideas, writing stories, making them fancy then publishing them! Author's Chair on Friday we extra special because we had quite a few of our "published authors" share their stories. This week we will begin thinking about writing comments on things we know a lot about. We will generate a list of things we know about then choose one to write more about. We will also focus some of our time on writing what we know about Bats before we read to find out more.
This week in Math...
We will continue thinking about measurement as we move into telling time. Students will be able to tell time to the hour by identifying the short hand as the hour hand and the long hand as the minute hand on an analog clock. We will relate digital clocks to analog clocks and tell time with both.
This week in Social Studies...
This is the last week for our Coins for Coats Drive. It has been amazing to see the children hard at work counting the coins as they are collected. We've raised over $200.00 so far! One of our focuses is Selfless Giving. We discuss how giving to others makes us feel like we've made a difference in our community. We wrote letters last week to see if our parents can help us find some more coins at home!
We will also learn about our community symbols as we study the US Symbols. We will discuss their meaning and why symbols like the Liberty Bell are important to our nation's history. We will also study our state's symbols such as the Texas Flag and the Alamo. We will learn about our state's history and why we should be proud to be Texans.
Have a great week!
