MATH
This week our focus will be ordering numbers. Students will need to look at the tens and ones places to determine how to put the numbers in order.
Coming up:
- Capacity
- Telling time
- Money- identifying and counting coins
This week students will work on addition and subtraction, skip counting, number order and place value.
Math Journals - (Tuesdays and Thursdays) 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.
WRITING
This week's mini-lessons:
Our focus will be personal narratives. Students will learn how to retell a sequence of events, from a "small moment" in their life, with precise detail. Students will tell their story across the pages in a small booklet.
