This week in Reading and Writing workshop…
We will continue our exploration of Poetry as readers and writers! We will begin to look for sensory language in Poetry. We will listen for details make us think of something we see, hear, smell, touch or taste. We will think about how this type of language engages us as readers. The students are putting their poems together in a ‘Poetry Booklet.’ They are precious and I can’t wait to send them home so you can read them!
As writers, we will also think about the “ingredients” that poems need. When writing poetry we write about things we care a lot about! It helps us, as writers, think about the meaning of our poetry. We will focus on “showing, not telling” to help the readers of our poetry feel our poems in their souls!
This week in Math…
We will continue relating Addition and Subtraction. We will use objects and picture models to solve word problems that involve joining, separating and comparing sets of numbers. Please continue to practice Dreambox at home! Our PTA provides this AMAZING resource and I love logging on and seeing what the children are learning.
This week in Social Studies…
We will be wrapping up our unit on economics. We will read about different ways citizens make choices to meet their needs in our community.
