Curriculum
Reading: This week during reading our book clubs are continuing to lift the levels of their conversations by examining themes, lessons learned, and how our characters show grit and perseverance to tackle problems.
Writing: This week we are studying how to use transitional phrases to piece together the different parts of our Informational Writing chapters. Later in the week we will study how different text structures best convey information.
Math: Today we officially launched Unit 2: Multiplication and Division. For the first time Mrs. Rosevear and I decided to create math groups to meet the needs of different mathematicians based on what we observed in their preassessment data. These groups will be flexible, and although the same topics will be taught the activities students participate in will focus on the individual needs of each student. This week we are revisiting multiplication strategies, studying arrays and the commutative property, and starting multiplication centers.
Social Studies: We are continuing to learn about the United States by visiting different centers. This week we are learning how to use the map and video centers to learn new information.
Have a great week, and see you soon!
