Reading: In reading we learned about plural nouns and how to write them, including how to make man, woman and child plural. We also learned about the final clusters in a word. The ending sounds are much trickier for us, so we are still working on these. Today, we learned about three different parts of a story: character, setting, and plot. So, when you read with your student at home, maybe you can practice having them talk about the characters and identify the setting and tell the plot in order. We didn't have guided reading groups this week because Miss Miranda was reassessing our reading levels again. The class is reading so well!!!!
Writing: For our small moment stories, we learned about how to make sure we are writing about a story that happened to us, so we should be using I. We also learned to make sure that we put everything in order and tell about everything that happened. We practiced looking at our stories and seeing where we could add more details so that our readers can understand our story better.
Math: We finished up Chapter 12 and we moved into Chapter 8 and we are starting a new unit on Graphing. Next week we will chart Chapter 9 and learn more about graphs and how to read them and analyze them. We will also be practicing how to make graphs. Graphing can be really fun! But it is also quite challenging for our kids because of the vocabulary, so we are working hard to understand what different things mean, like fewest, and how many more.
Science: We started a new unit on plants. We learned about plant needs and the parts of a plant.
Social Studies: We started a new unit on Mapping. This week did a KWL, where we talked about what we already know and what we want to know about maps. We also looked at a map compared to a globe. We talked about land and water on the world and the different continents. In the coming weeks, we will start learning lots and lots about maps!
