Dental Health

This week in:

Shared Reading/Concepts-We will study dental health. We will learn the parts of the teeth such as enamel, dentin, and pulp. We will learn the names of our teeth such as incisors, canines, and molars. We will learn lots of facts such as we have 20 baby teeth and 32 permanent teeth and much more!

Daily 5 Reading-We will work on the goal of comprehension and the strategy of comparing and contrasting within and between the text. Readers understand new ideas in text by thinking about how things are alike or different, thus deepening their comprehension. Comparing and contrasting text assists the reader by engaging them in thinking critically. Readers go beyond descriptions, summaries, or retells and gain a deeper understanding of what they are comparing or contrasting.

Daily 5 Math-We are beginning our unit on decomposing or breaking down numbers. The boys and girls are doing a great job of using their previous taught math skills and patterns to be successful at this math skill!

Writer's Workshop-We are continuing to write, edit, revise, and publish information pieces.
