Oviparous Animals!

This week in:

Shared Reading/Concepts- We will learn about oviparous animals (animals that lay eggs). We will be receiving our fertilized duck eggs this week to put in our incubator. Every day we will candle the eggs and document in our journals what is happening inside the egg. It takes 28 days for ducklings to hatch....we can't wait!!!!

Daily 5 Reading-We will focus on the reading goal of fluency by working on the strategy of using punctuation  to enhance phrasing and prosody. Clustering words together by using our knowledge of the spoken patterns in the English language and using punctuation enhances our understanding of what we read.

Writer's Workshop-We will continue to learn how to write a persuasive piece by learning how to convince people.

Daily 5 Math-We are working on our place value unit. We are practicing making numbers with rods and units, counting rods and units by tens then switching to counting by ones and identifying the number they represent, and identifying the one and tens place in numbers.
