Classroom News
This week we
really worked hard on main topic and key details in a nonfiction text. We read a variety of nonfiction texts
to aid in our understanding of finding the main topic and the key details that
support it. We read many books on
heroes. We looked at different
heroes from different time periods and focused on why they were important. We also talked about Veteran’s Day.
We finished up
with Chapter 4 in math and are going to be beginning Chapter five this upcoming
week. Chapter 4 was a difficult
chapter but we are happy to move on!
This chapter focused more on the concepts behind subtraction, but we
understand many students are able to use their own strategies to solve
problems.
In grammar we
worked on proper nouns and titles.
We even started to recognize proper nouns in our writing and reading.
What We’re Learning Next
Week:
Reading: Next week we
will be continuing to explore main idea and key details. We will be reading nonfiction texts
about pilgrims and Thanksgiving.
Students will be learning important information about Thanksgiving while
also learning how to find the main idea and the supporting key details. We will work on some important
vocabulary words like pilgrim, Plymouth Rock, Mayflower, harbor, crop,
plantation, village, and trundle.
Math: We will begin to
introduce chapter 5. This new chapter will focus on addition and
subtraction relationships. Next
week we will work on problem solving, how to record related facts which helps
us to find missing numbers, and how to identify related facts.
Grammar: We will be continuing to work on titles and move on to holidays, months,
and days of the week.
