We learned about
an adorable little bat named Stellaluna this week. We focused on quite a few different skills. We worked on using adjectives to
describe characters. We talked
about the story plot, the setting, and the problem. We even compared and contrasted bats and birds. It was a busy week for us! We really enjoyed the story Stellaluna;
it taught us that it is okay to be different and still be friends.
In math this
week we worked on making tens to add.
It took some practice but we are getting the hang of it. We worked on adding three numbers and
adding three numbers with algebra.
We were hard at work using our best math skills. We are learning a lot about how numbers
fit together and the different addition concepts.
Next Week…
Next Week…
Reading: We are taking on a whole new genre and tackling POETRY! We are going to explore poetry by
reading poems that activate our five senses and evoke different emotions. We are really going to focus on those
words and phrases that cause us to feel a certain emotion or activate our
senses. We are going to do some
really fun activities to help us learn these different words.
Math: Next week we are going to
be giving our math chapter 3 test.
We are finishing up the chapter with problem solving using addition
strategies. We are going to then
review and take our test. We will
then begin chapter 4, which focuses on subtraction strategies. Students will learn counting back
as a subtraction strategy and how to use addition to help them subtract.
Grammar: We are beginning to learn about nouns and how a noun is a person, place,
or thing.
