Theme: In preparation of our school-wide Read-Across-America celebration next week we learned about Dr. Seuss the author, shared his books, rhymed, and retold The Lorax using a story using a story map to include all the important information. We sorted books into groups that were by Dr. Seuss or by another author. We read several Dr. Seuss stories and sequenced them. Next Week: Students will activate schema (knowledge) about transportation, sort transportation pictures by land, air, and water, learn about force and motion, as well as magnetic force. We will end our week with a drive-in on Friday.
Don’t forget to be working on your drive-in car at home! Our drive-in is next Friday, March 4th! Writing: Kids wrote a How-To book for their summative evaluation and continued to work on unfinished pieces. Next Week: Kids will finish editing and illustrating How-To books and share in a Writers' Celebration on Thursday. Handwriting and Word Work: Yy on handwriting lines, -op word family, High-Frequency word "said" Next Week: Zz, "they" Math: We finished up our unit on shapes. We learned that 3D shapes have different 2D shape faces and combined 3D shapes to make a new shape. Kids continue to match faces of 3D shapes with their outlines and combed two or more blocks to build one of the larger geoblocks. Next Week: We will begin working with arrangements of colored squares to decompose a larger number into two smaller numbers in preparation for addition and subtraction number and story problems.
