This week in literacy we are working together as a class to write our own version of the book "In a Dark, Dark Wood" which is a class favorite! Our version is titled: "In a Dark, Dark School." We choose what happens in our story, and the students take turns coming up to the big book we are creating and write some of the letters and words. This is important because we teach and reinforce many things at this time, such as using spaces between words, proper letter formation, sound and letter correspondence, using our word wall to correctly spell some words, capitalization, punctuation and more! Stay tuned for photos of our book! We work at this a little each day, so our shared reading, centers, interactive read aloud and writing workshop are all still going on. This week, the listening center, buddy reading center and word work center will all be added to our work board. We're staying busy!
This week in math we will...
- Learn how to write 7, 8, 9 and 10.
- Measure objects with craft sticks and Unifix cubes. We will discuss how to measure using non-standard units (units must be same-sized length, lay units end to end with not gaps or overlap).
- Estimate lengths of objects and check our estimates.
- Use the words, equal, length, longer/longest, and shorter/shortest.
- Use number racks to solve equations involving unknown addends.
- Play a game called Quick! Look! Plus One, Minus One on our number racks.
- Count forward and backward by 5's and 10's within 100.
This week in Social Studies, we will continue to learn about citizenship. We will also meet with our 4th grade buddies in the outdoor classroom to talk about the items we collected last week. We will be comparing and contrasting the items and talking about living/non-living things.
