Greetings students and families,
I'm looking forward to our work together this week and wanted to share our learning plan.
During Reading Workshop we will focus on "Thinking and Talking About Your Reading" We will inquire into:
- setting
- characters
- interpreting the author's message
- the ways in which authors share their message with readers
In Mathematics we follow the Everyday Math curriculum. Our work this week will focus on:
- Understanding the Student Reference Book
- Area of Rectangles
- Using Quilts to Problem Solve Area
Sharing the Planet
- What is a natural resource?
- reading and using resource maps
- noticing features of non-fiction text that teach about natural resources
Dates to Remember!
