This week in Literacy:
Students will begin to work on their own Overcoming Challenges paragraph. They will also practice fluency through a short practiced passage and an Elephant and Piggie book 🐘🐖
We are also reading Bunnicula: A Rabbit Tale of Mystery as a class. Ask your child what Chester and Harold are up to! 🐇🧛🐶😾
This week in Math:
We are working in Unit 3, which is stories with Addition and Subtraction. This unit always proves to be tricky for students. Please view the parent guide to help you assist your child and understand the various addition and subtraction lingo.
There are some cheat sheets in agendas . Please keep those in agendas so they can be used at school and at home during unit 3 which focuses on a variety of addition and subtraction of methods. We do teach regrouping as a strategy this year (yay, finally the way you learned growing up), but it is alongside the methods they have been taught previously to ensure core understanding. Some of these may NOT be familiar to you as parents so it is VERY important to use the example coming home from what students did that day. Some very helpful parent links to what we are doing can be found here: Place Value Addition Show All Totals/Partial Sums Addition on a # Line Place Value Subtraction Subtraction on a Number Line
This quarter in Science: In 1st quarter students will focus on exploring force and motion
