February 22-26
This week in skills block we will be focusing on the long o spelled -oa and -ow. Our spelling words are: toast, pillow, soak, throw, toad, roast, grow, coach, bowl, and slow. Our guiding question in Readers' Workshop is .."How does looking at problem solving in a story help me to be a better reader?". We will also practice summarizing stories that we read at guided reading, independent reading, partner reading and our read alouds. During worktime the students will be logging on to Destination Success to complete activities that support our phonics, grammar and vocabulary skills. Our high frequency words for this week are: or, hard, finally, gone, again, turn, want and both.
In Writers' Workshop we will continue gathering our information for our animal reports. So far the students have found facts on what their animals eat and where they live. In Math Workshop we will begin our new book called Number Games and Story Problems. The students will continue comparing the sum of two facts using greater than, less than or equal to symbols. Today we began our new Science unit on living and nonliving things. We began an inquiry that will have the students making observations in the classroom to determine what living and nonliving means.
