CURRICULUM
Reading: Now that students are assigned to the right "Just Right" books after weeks of running record assessments, we are spending the last few days of our first reading unit thinking about author's purpose and deeper questions that texts trigger. By the end of this week we will start jotting in reading notebooks!
Writing: This week we are walking through the revision and editing portions of the writing process. Students will use checklists and meet with partners to discuss their writing. We will start publishing their narrative pieces by the end of the week.
Math: This week math groups are continuing to review regrouping (especially while subtracting and across zeroes). Groups will also start to investigate multistep word problems, and will use bar modeling as a strategy to identify operations needed in a given problem.
Social Studies: This week we are launching our next Social Studies Unit- the United States. Students will visit centers featuring artifacts, maps, readings, sounds, and photographs that capture our own country.
