I hope that everyone had an enjoyable and relaxing holiday break! We are cruising into the new year here in room 3! Take a look at our current units of study:
Reading: Our current unit is called "Bigger Books Mean Amping up Reading Power" In this unit, we are learning about strategies for tackling longer texts with more complex characters and plots. We are learning to identify and understand literary language, develop more fluency by rereading, and using post-its to keep track of longer books.
Writing: In writing, we are studying poetry. The students are seeing the world with poets eyes. They are also learning about ways to gain inspiration, give their poetry "music", trying out repetition, and thinking about moods in their writing.
Math: We are finishing up our unit on shapes, partitioning, and time. We have learned to identify shapes by their attributes and partition them into equal shares. We also discussed time to the nearest 5 minutes and creating a pictograph. And as always... we keep working on those math facts:)
Happy 2017!
