Language Arts/Reading:
Instead of Writer’s Workshop, we will begin our Giving Unit. This unit focuses on the importance of giving to others in special ways. We will read stories such as, The Giving Tree, The Quilt Maker’s Gift, Before You Were Mine, The Night Tree, Something From Nothing, and The Mitten Tree. We will complete different writing activities to go with the books as well as some very special projects that will highlight the importance of giving back.
We will be completing mid-year reading assessments over the next two weeks.
We will also continue with Words Their Way. Math:
In math, we will be learning how to describe, and extend concrete and pictoral patterns in order to make predictions and solve problems. We will also continue skip counting by 2's, 5's, 10's, and identifying odd and even numbers.
Social Studies:
You all did such a wonderful job on the Pilgrim Dolls! I loved hearing their presentations and learning where everyone’s family moved from and why they moved here.
We are now beginning our Landforms Unit. During this unit, we will be learning about different landforms and bodies of water.
