Math

We assessed Unit 1 in math this week and the class did really well! We started Unit 2 and learned how to play an Exchange Game with $1 bills, $10 bills, and $100 bills. Look for information on Unit 2 in the Friday folder!

Reading

In reading this week, we focused on Word Study procedures and objectives. We learned how to sort words based on their patterns and how to practice our words in new ways.

Theme

We are doing a unit on health in theme. We learned that the body has different organs that have special functions. This week, students learned about the lungs, their function, and how to keep them healthy. They even made their own lung model! We started on the brain and will continue next week.

Writing

In writing, we learned about how good authors come up with an idea and plan out their story first. We are focusing on narrative writing in our first unit, or small moment stories about ourselves.
