October 31st - November 4th


Language Arts/Reading:

We are continuing with Words Their Way.  Assessments have just been given, and new groups will be formed based on this information. 
In Writer’s Workshop, we will launch our unit on writing "small moments".  The children will understand that authors write "small moment" stories and stretch the action across several pages because the moment is so important.  The students will focus on planning their stories by sharing their ideas with their writing partners. 
In Reading Workshop, we will continue guided reading groups.  Our mini lessons this week will focus on comprehension strategies, getting to know the characters better and making predictions during reading. 


Math:
We are continuing our unit on number operation.  We will begin addition strategies such as count-on-one, two, three and zero.  This week we will continue  problem solving as well as review the different strategies for adding numbers.  We will also discuss strategies for odd/even numbers.

Social Studies:
We will continue our unit on Texas.  I love this unit!  We will learn all about our great state of Texas including the state bird, the state motto, the pledge, the state tree, and many other things!  We will also learn all about cowboys and cowgirls.  Howdy y'all!
