Math: We are nearing the end of our current math unit and will use this week to review partners of larger numbers as well as practice the subtraction patterns that can help us to be fluent. We will do some comparing and addition work while seeing numbers in more then one way by playing the card game Ratuki.
Reading: We have recently started a new unit called Readers Are Resourceful. This unit will focus on using meaning (picture clues), syntax (how books sound) and visual (letters in words) in more complex books. We will rely heavily on the chart below to keep track of what we have tried and can try when we get stuck and to set goals for building up our repertoire of strategies.
Writing: I hope your child has shared with your some of the important topics they are writing about to persuade others. Please know you may receive some books or letters regarding "problems" your child might want to persuade others to fix at home or in your neighborhood. We are really working on using our words as a way to let people know about a problems see and ways we think it can be fixed. This week we will work on keeping our writing stamina up by thinking of lots of causes to write about and will work on revision and spelling strategies.
Science: This is such a great time of the year for us to be investigating weather! We have been spending some time with our weather journals outside observing and describing the temperature, wind, sky and precipitation. This week we will take a look at how the season impacts the weather and explore when the seasons happen and why.
