RECENT FLIGHT PLANS HAVE KEPT US VERY BUSY ! Reading: We've read so many great books in our room already this year, 65 so far! When reading we discuss characters, setting, main ideas, details and summarize the main events. Spelling patterns: Long vowel words ***** Be sure to have your children visit Spelling City.com for practice of our weekly Spelling words. The weekly word lists are usually posted on Mondays. :) Word Study - suffixes and prefixes, when to use quotation marks, adjectives, synonyms and antonyms Writing Skills: Capitalization, and using the Word Book to spell words accurately in their writing. This month the children are working on Expository Writing activities: telling us how they feel about a topic, explaining what they know about that topic, and then giving details to support their ideas. Math: 1) Story Problems - How to read them, what to look for in the text when reading the story problem. What information/clues to look for as to whether you add or subtract. Next, show your work to solve the problem. 2) Subtracting double digit numbers up to 100: regrouping to find the difference. Technology - The students have been learning about a fun site for our class called SEESAW. Stay tuned for more details to come in the future. This week was the Hour of Code in technology. Our class worked on a Grinch activity using the coding principle. :) Social Studies: Life in the past Science: Matter - Forms of Matter and Changing States of Matter ******************* |
