Reading
- We made a story web identifying the main topic of our nonfiction books and the sub topics
- We identified key vocabulary words in our nonfiction books to help us share facts and sound like an expert when telling our friends about what we are learning.
- We added interesting introductions to our nonfiction all about books to "hook" the reader! Ask your child about their nonfiction topic!
- We practiced using lots of different strategies to solve word problems. Ask your child which strategy they feel the most comfortable using.
Fundations
- This week we began unit 6 for Fundations. We learned about a new syllable type called VCE (marked as v-e). This is when there is an e at the end of a syllable and it makes the vowel in front of the consonant long.
- We worked on adding all of the suffixes we learned over the past few weeks onto the end of the VCE words. It's important to think about the baseword first and then add the suffix after. Example: the baseword in hopeless is hope. Thinking about the baseword first will help students recognize that it is a VCE syllable and needs an e after the p instead of spelling it like this: hopless.
SEL (Social and Emotional Learning)
- We learned how to report bullying to an adult.
Science
- The best way to identify different trees is by studying their leaves.
- We completed our tree unit! After winter vacation, we will start our next science unit which focuses on properties and magnets.
