ASK ME ABOUTS:
Ask me about...
- lessons I can learn when reading. We read a slew of Patricia Polacco books this week and picked out many life lessons along the way. We also looked for lessons in our independent reading books.
- my opinion about...everything!! We have started our opinion writing unit and the more we practice sharing our opinions with reasons and examples, the better we will be at writing opinions!
- my experiences at the Chinese Cultural Center.
- the new creature in our classroom. We learned that it is a cocoon...what will it be when it emerges?
- how I can solve this number story:
- Sam read 32 books this month and Pat read 49. How many more books did Pat read?
LOOKING FORWARD:
Looking forward, we will:- begin a folktales unit in reading.
- finish unit 11 in fundations, focusing on the vowel teams ee, ea and ey and move into unit 12, focusing on the vowel teams oi and oy.
- read maps of China to learn more about China.
- continue in our opinion writing unit, writing our opinions and providing reasons and examples to support our opinions.
- work with time, solve number stories and discuss arrays in math.
Enjoy the weekend!
