We had a super fun time at STEAM Day! We learned all about the
jobs that engineers do! We also learned that engineers solve problems just like
we do. There
are pictures of our class from this day in a separate email.

In Reading Workshop…
This week we will think about all of the strategies good
readers use as we begin an Author Study of Dr. Seuss! We will learn all about
his life and how he made reading fun for so many children and adults! We will
read books that he has written and research about his life!
In Writer's Workshop…
This week we will revisit Small Moments stories. We will take an event
from our life experiences and explode it. We will explore how authors write their stories and add details
to help us really imagine what it was like to be there in that moment.
In Math…
We are finishing up our unit on Addition Strategies. We've learned how to
count on using a number track or number line. We've practiced making ten and counting the leftovers. We've used visual
models to represent joining two amounts. Now we will apply these strategies and solve problems!
In Social Studies…
We will be exploring the concept of Spending and Saving. We will talk about how
you must save money for things you want and "just in case". We will explore what it
looks like to budget your money for the things you need like shelter,
electricity and water and the things you want!
In Science…
We will being exploring Mammals. We will learn about the
characteristics of a mammal and their life cycle. We will explore how mammals move, eat and where they live.
This week’s life skill is Creativity: to generate ideas; to
create something original or redesign through imaginative skill.
Have a great week!
