Reading: We started a learning goal of understanding differences in the points of view of characters. We read a book Duck, Rabbit and reasoned why the picture looked like a duck or a rabbit. We also read It Looked Like Spilt Milk to help us identify different perspectives we might have when looking at the same thing. We read a book about the point of view of ants in a kitchen. Students wrote how birds vs. bats would feel about eating bugs or flying at night. Writing: We worked on a 2019 goals mobile on Monday. Many students continued to finish publishing their Small Moment Stories - Dedication page, About the Author page, Cover page. We will be starting to go to the Publishing Shop next week. Word Study: We worked on spelling the 158 high frequency word list again to see how much students have grown so far this year. Once I grade these, I will send home the updated list for your child. We also did the mid-year Development Spelling Inventory. Math: Our learning goal is to subtract numbers within 100 using multiple strategies. We started looking at ways to subtract 2-digit numbers. Students worked with and drew base ten blocks to represent exchanging/trading a ten back into 10 ones. We used hundred charts to subtract. We reviewed decomposing the smaller number to make it easer (45-26: break 26 into 20 and 6 and subtract them separately from 45). Social Studies:
Our learning goal this week was to use maps to help us understand locations of places. Using a compass rose, students worked on remembering tips for north, south, east, and west and drawing symbols in correct locations. We used directions to create a "Royal Castle" floor plan. We played a directions board game to continue learning the cardinal directions. Comments are closed.
