*Please have your child read and re-read the pre-decodable and the decodable books that are sent home. Depending upon your child's reading abilities these books will range from very easy to challenging. However, it is still good practice to have your child read and discuss these books with you at home.
MATH
This week students will order objects by length and weight. We will be using vocabulary such as 'short/shorter/shortest', 'tall/taller/tallest', 'heavier/heaviest', and 'lighter/lightest' to discuss the objects we are ordering.
On Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays students will be in math work stations. Our math work stations are planned to reinforce our daily objectives, build a strong foundation in number sense, and discover number relationships.
On Tuesdays and Thursdays students work in their Math Journals. Our Math Journal work begins with an open ended question that provides an opportunity for students to use multiple strategies for problem solving. Students are then asked to record their work and discuss how they solved the problem. Finally, a few students each week share their problem solving strategies with the class.
