Welcome back to school! I hope everyone had a wonderful, relaxing but fun winter break! We're excited to say that this month we'll be integrating our science, social studies and literacy in a unit all about polar region animals! Beginning this week with some informational read alouds about polar bears and other animals that live in the Arctic and Antarctic regions of the world. We'll also discuss and do some shared writing about what we already know on this topic. Throughout the month we study the informational genre of writing as we explore many books and notice how authors teach us about topics.
This week in math, we will use addition and subtraction within 20 to solve word problems, add and subtract 10 from any number with fluency, work with fact families and identify the relationship between addition and subtraction, and order three objects by length.
Additionally, the students will be learning about Pushes and Pulls in science this week. The students will be thinking about their favorite jobs and how pushes and pulls are used in that job.
