This week in Reading Workshop...
We will continue to review the strategies that Strong Readers use to help them understand what they read. We use our "strategy tool kit" as a reminder of what we have learned this year. At the end of First grade readers naturally use their comprehension strategies! It's fun when we can name what we do as readers.
This week in Writing Workshop...
We will be completing our end of the year Family Writing. It's so exciting for the students to see how much they've grown as writers. These pieces will be displayed at KnOWLedge Night.
This week in Math...
We will be moving on to a unit on Inequality and Comparison Subtraction. Students will be thinking about the equal sign and what is on either side of it. Comparison subtraction deals with quanties that are compared with each other. An example would be, Mrs. Caballero baked 12 cupcakes. Lyla baked 15. How many more cupcakes did Lyla bake that Mrs. Caballero?
This week in Science...
We will begin our unit on plants. We will study seeds this week. I would love for the students to bring a seed in any time this week to share with our class. This can be a seed from a fruit or veggie that you eat at home. We will observe these and discuss the plants they will grow into.
Have a great week!
