We will be using our facts table to solve
subtraction problems. We will also be back at
measuring items, but we will be focusing on the
centimeter. We will then close the week out by
having a Math Explorations Day. We will explore
with pattern blocks, addition facts and triangles. |
Reading: This week our theme is “What’s the
Weather.” We will be focusing on reading selections
that have this theme, writing about this theme, and
discussing this theme all week! While we are reading, we will be focusing on the strategy of rereading. Good readers sometimes go back and reread parts of a story. This helps them figure out things that might be confusing. We will also be working on the skill of comparing and contrasting. We will compare and contrast within a story, and we will also compare and contrast our different selections throughout the week. |
