This week in Reading…

We will continue researching.  Last week, we learned about Sloths.  This week, we will be learning about Dinosaurs!  We will read different types of nonfiction texts to find information.

This week in Writing Workshop…

We will continue writing information we collect from nonfiction books on sticky notes.  We will use the sticky notes to publish the information we collect.  We will also choose topics we already know about and write facts about that topic.

This week in Math workshop…

We will continue learning about place value.  We are learning about and exploring numbers up to 99. We are using base 10 blocks to build the numbers, and using the expanded form of a number to compose and decompose numbers.

This week in Science…

We will begin learning about living and nonliving things.  We will use this knowledge when we begin our unit about animals.

This week in Social Studies…

We will be finishing up the unit about the characteristics of the world around us. We will learn about the different landforms and bodies of water.  After this, we will learn about natural resources.

Our Life Skill of the week is Sense of Humor! Having a sense of humor means that you are able to laugh and be playful without hurting others.

That’s all for now! Have a great week!
