What is My Child Learning This Week?
Reading-This week, we are reviewing various skills through centers and small group instruction with the teacher. Some of the skills include character traits, compare and contrast, context clues, vocabulary development, main idea, making inferences, and cause and effect. The primary reading text will be a story called Head, Body, Legs: A Story From Liberia.
Math- We officially begin our unit on measurement. Our main focus will be feet, inches, cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. We will work on this unit for three to four weeks.
Social Studies-We delve into our unit about changes over time. Students will begin learning about how people lived in the past, how they live in the present, and predictions for the future. We will be reading a story called Winter Days in the Big Woods.
Writing/Word Wall-We are reconstructing our word wall! We will interactively rewrite all of the word wall words. Therefore, there are no new words this week, and students are not responsible for the word wall assignments for this week. We continue with cursive writing.
