Academic Update

Word Work- We will review short vowel sounds this week. Up next- long vowel patterns. 

Writer's Workshop- 
We will continue with our 'How To' unit this week. The students have done a nice job transitioning from personal narrative writing ( small moment writing) to informational- How To writing. They are using sequence words in their writing while zooming in on conventions- spaces between words, no mixing ( no capital letters unless it starts a sentence or is a name) and spelling snap words correctly. We are learning how important it is for the reader to be able to read our writing.

Math- 
We are finishing the chapter on addition strategies. Here are the strategies that have learned so far: count on, number line and doubles. The other strategies are doubles plus 1, related facts and fact families. They will be introduced to the math terms identity property and communicative property this week as well. 

Science-
We will continue to learn What is Scientific Inquiry? They are learning What is A Scientist, Inquiry, Scientific Tools, Scientific Method and using their Five Senses to ask questions, make observations and get answers.
