Reading: We are working on Book Club this month. In addition to reading and discussing WONDER, the students were able to choose a chapter book that interested them. They are learning how to conduct meaningful discussions about how characters shape our opinions, prompt us to ask questions, and make predictions throughout a story. Ask your child which book they chose...and then ask them to tell you all about the character(s).
Writing: We are diligently working on writing a personal narrative. We had a breakthrough today when a few friends decided to scrap their original idea and start over with a whole new story! This may seem crazy but I am very happy that our little writer's are thinking like writers! It is a process and it often means that we start over in order to be better.
Math: We are finishing up our first unit on addition, subtraction, and place value. We are working on problem solving and focussing on all of the different ways we can arrive at an answer. We have also begun skip counting in order to become fluent with multiplication. Please help your child learn his/her facts! You can use these sites to play multiplication games!
