On Friday we started our second round of Caraway Academies! Students loved meeting their teacher (some picked me for Butterfly Studies!) and getting started learning about topics of their interest. We have students learning about rocks, architecture, art, dinosaurs and more!

This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...
We will begin a unit called "Readers and Writers Research Together." This unit bundles student expectations for understanding expository text and research as they note and synthesize what is learned from researching to find answers to their questions. This will be guided by the teacher.
This week in Math workshop...
We will continue to look at place value. Students will use objects, pictures, and expanded & standard forms to represent numbers up to 99. They will also recognize the quantity of structured arrangements.
This week in Science...
We will begin a unit on Seasons. Students will identify and describe characteristics of each season, when and how the seasons change and why they change at the same time each year.
This week in Social Studies...
We are learning about The World Around Us. This week we will learn about Natural Resources and how to conserve those resources.
Our Life Skill of the week is Sense of Humor! Having a sense of humor is to laugh and be playful without hurting others. We will talk as a class about appropriate times to laugh and have fun at school and at home.
Have a great week!
