I hope that everyone had a great weekend! 2016 is already off to a fabulous start in Room 118! I look forward to another wonderful week! :)
Literacy
In Literacy this week we will read the story, Rosa and Blanca by Joe Hayes. We will continue to discuss the unit question, “What does it mean to be creative?” and will discuss the weekly question, “When can creative ideas solve problems?” We will also review the genre of Realistic Fiction, learn about long i (i, ie, igh, y), apply the comprehension skill of theme and plot and discuss the comprehension strategy of prediction.
Math
This week in math we will continue to learn and practice strategies for adding two, two-digit numbers! The children did a fantastic job last week applying the partial sums strategy that we learned! Ask your child to show you this very helpful method!
Social Studies
Last week in Social Studies we began to talk about the very important life and work of Martin Luther King Jr. We watched a BrainPOP video on Dr. King and even viewed a portion of his, "I Have a Dream Speech". This week we will continue to learn more about Martin Luther King Jr. through read alouds and discussions!
Star Student
Congratulations to Leila who was our Star Student last week! We loved learning more about Leila from her All About Me poster and from the pictures that she brought from home! Keep up the amazing work Leila! :)
