A Peek at our Week
Reading: We are continuing our
Nonfiction unit. We discussed how to
activate our prior knowledge about a topic
and come up with things we are wondering
before we read. We are also focusing on
the main idea and key details.
Writing: In our How-To unit, we have
decided which topic to publish and turn it
in to something to share with an audience.
We are now in the editing and revising
phase.
Words Their Way: We are working on
individuals sorts to practice specific skillsshort vowels, blends, digraphs, and long
vowels. This helps with our reading and
writing.
Math: We wrapped up 3D shapes and
started our addition unit. We worked with
identifying two groups and determining the
total.
Science: We talked about Living and
Nonliving things. We also began to discuss
plants and how they have similarities and
differences.
Social Studies: We will be starting our Map
Unit. Please have your kinder work on
