Curriculum Update:
Fundations
Last week in Fundations we learned to read the sight words they and with. Since "they" can be a challenging word to spell, we learned a special song to help us remember that there is no "a" in they! Click here to listen!
Reader's Workshop
Last week in Reader's Workshop we learned how to be avid readers of non fiction texts! Unlike fictional stories where the children practiced identifying the feelings of the characters, avid readers of non fiction, or teaching books, make note about the parts of the book that impress them and make them say "wow!". Avid readers in this genre also think about parts of the book that they may have questions about.
Math
In math we reviewed that teen numbers are a group of ten, and then "some more". We practiced looking at teen numbers in tally, unifix cube, and ten frame form, and practiced writing number sentences for each representation. For example, 10+4=14. We also learned to reverse number sentences, so if 10+2=12, then 12=10=2!
Writer's Workshop
Last week in Writer's Workshop we continue to identify and solve real world problems through our opinion writing pieces. The class received more detailed instruction as to how to write a persuasive letter and practiced adding multiple reasons to their identified problem in order to make their writing more convincing!
Science
It was a bittersweet time in science as we let our butterflies fly free on Thursday. In the week ahead we will continue to learn, and show what we know about the butterfly life cycle!
