Shared Reading/Concepts-We will learn all about maps! We will learn about map symbols, map keys, a compass rose, the 4 cardinal directions, and much more! On Friday we will follow a map and have a walking field trip around Baxter using our compasses and map skills! More information to come!
Daily 5 Reading-We are off to a GREAT start! Every child is meeting with a teacher every day! Your child should be bringing their "just right" book home each night. On Fridays we will send home their poetry notebooks for them to read. On Monday we will send home your child's word work for the week in their pouch. They are to sort the pictures/words by their spelling feature. The boys and girls know what to do and directions will come home on Monday as well. :) This week we are focusing on the reading goal of accuracy and learning the strategy cross checking. Ask your child about cross checking!
Writer's Workshop-This week we will use mentor texts and notice some things that authors do when they tell stories. We will learn that one way writers get ready to write true stories is to first practice telling the stories. They will tell the "little" things that happened such as what people said. We will also learn that authors plan how stories will go and we will learn to plan stories page by page!
Daily 5 Math-We love working in our math journals and adding math tools to our tool bags! So far we have a rod (10 connecting cubes), a die, and a ten frame! This week we will add numeral cards to our math tool bags.
Reminders
