This week in Reading…

We will continue reading and analyzing poetry.  We will think like a poet and use our senses to create a picture of the poem in our mind.  We will listen for rhythm and rhyme, alliteration. We will begin to critique poems.

This week in Writing Workshop…

We will begin our poetry unit.  We will talk about how to think like a poet and listen for rhythm, rhyme and line breaks.  We will try to apply this to our writing.  We will talk about how poems are different from stories with a beginning, middle and end.

This week in Math workshop…

We will revisit addition and subtraction.  In this unit we will think about how addition and subtraction are related.  We will learn about fact families, missing addends, and how we can think about addition to solve a subtraction problem and vise versa.

This week in Science…

We will begin learning about animals.  This week, we will be learning about fish.  We will learn about the characteristics of a fish, their body parts, life cycle and how they depend on their environment around them to survive.

This week in Social Studies…

We will be talking about needs and wants. We will think about the basic needs we have to have to survive and the fun things we want. 

Our Life Skill of the week is Responsibility!

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