Shared Reading/Concepts- We will do a non-fiction study on penguins. We will also learn about and how to use non-fiction text features such as bullets, labels, illustrations, cutaways, photographs, etc...We will conduct a blubber experiment and turn ourselves into penguins by using pillows and a belt to see and feel how penguins walk and carry their eggs on their feet.
Daily 5 Reading- We will focus on the goal of expanding our vocabulary and the strategy of using pictures, illustrations, and diagrams. Readers increase their vocabularies by paying attention to pictures, illustrations, and diagrams. They use the context of the story, their background knowledge of what is being read, and at times infer to gain meaning of the word and text.
Daily 5 Math-We are leaning about subtraction, the math vocabulary, and the inverse operations of our addition strategies.
Writer's Workshop-We will continue to work in our new genre of information writing. This week we will learn how to envision the steps of the how to and revise if they don't make sense. We will also talk about labeling our pictures (diagram) to teach even more. We will also practice reading our writing with expression.
