Here is a snap shot of what we will be working on in Room 105 this week....
In writing we are working on Editing one of our small moments. We used a check list today to think about spelling and punctuation. We practiced editing a piece of writing as a class and making changes to make the writing better. We will soon be wrapping up our Small Moments (personal narrative) unit!
In reading, we worked today on figuring out the meanings of words. We read from the book Katie Woo Has the Flu. We looked at this passage, "I hate taking pills, they are such pills!" We discussed using the words in the sentence to help figure out the meaning. We will study how authors have intentions. We will look again at Those Darn Squirrels. We will notice, stop and think about what the author does that is so powerful!
In phonics we are focusing this week on how capitals are used in writing. We read a sample letter from a young writer and we noticed how to use capitals. We saw capitals in the middle of words and fixed them up. We will learn this week to use capitals for: names, place, products, the word I, to start a letter, to end a letter, to start dates, and to start a new sentence.
In math, we worked more on fact power today. We used doubles facts to help us solve math problems. For example, 5 plus 5 equals 10 will help you know how to solve 5 plus 6. This week we will also learn about the turn around rule for addition. We will try using the turn around rule for subtraction and learn why it will not work. We will also finished taking the I-ready math test.
In science, we will be starting the Air and Weather Unit. We will begin by exploring what we already know about air and weather using a thinking routine called See, Think, Wonder.
Have a great week!
Mrs. Scheck
