Shared Reading/Concepts- We will learn all about the nocturnal animal the bat. We will discuss the genre of non-fiction and it's features such as table of context, index, captions, diagrams, etc...We will also discuss and begin to learn how to research using non-fiction books.
Daily 5 Reading-We will focus on the goal of fluency and the strategy of voracious reading. Readers become more fluent by increasing the volume of reading. Your child should be bringing home their just right book they read in their small reading group each day. If for some reason the book doesn't make it home just read a book from home. Raz Kids is a great online resource our school provides for us that you have access to online. :)
Writer's Workshop-We will have mini-lessons on adding more details to pictures and stories, writing partners can be writing teachers, and bringing our writing to life by adding dialogue and speech bubbles! Wow! That's a lot!
Daily 5 Math- We will continue to work on counting and cardinality by focusing on relationships between number and quantity. We will review our math vocabulary words, work in our math journals, and meet with Mrs. Blum, Mrs. Hunt, and Mrs. McMillan in small math groups.
