Curriculum

Reading: This week we are wrapping up our character in a series book club unit. Thanks so much to all that families that joined us for part of our daily book club meeting last Family Friday! Your participation and ideas meant a lot to our students! This week we are examining ways to synthesize our jots, and take away themes and lessons learned.

Writing: This week we are studying the introductions and conclusions of mentor authors to help craft conclusions for our own informational writing. Later in the week we are revisiting various text features to bring our nonfiction books to life.

Math: This week both math groups are learning how to use arrays as a means to identify the number of groups vs. the number in each group as well as designing different open array models to represent a product. We are engaging in several  real world investigations studying the way farmers prepare to plant crops within fields using arrays.

See you soon,
Aimee Bouchard
