Star Students 4/10-4/15 Literacy Calendar Birthdays None this week! This week we will continue daily practice of our sight words. Please continue to support this at home. Our book of the week is “Houses” and our two new sight words are: “by & have”. This will begin our study of communities. In Reading Workshop students will begin the next Unit of Study on Poetry. They will listen to poems and how authors can use rhyming words and descriptive language to tell a story. They will have their own poetry packet to work in that will come home later this month. In Writing Workshop students will continue to focus on Grammar. They will learn about nouns and verbs. We will also begin the last Unit of Study on Personal Narratives. In this unit, students will learn how authors select specific moments of their life to write about. We will spend a lot of time over the next few weeks learning how to select that moment. The unit will culminate with their own personal narrative.

Math This week we will continue to work in Module 10 which covers more subtraction, representing teen numbers as 10 and some ones, and more work with 2D shapes. Last week we worked a lot with subtraction. Students learned how to use the base ten math racks to model subtraction and did great with it! They really enjoyed the hands-on practice. This week we will work with teen numbers. We will be using ten frames and number racks to help students work with this concept. Finally, students will look again at 2D shapes and use small shapes to build larger ones. For example, they can use 2 squares to make a rectangle or 2 rectangles can make an L shape. Students will work with 2D shapes to build visual/spatial relationship skills. Star Students 4/10 Jackson 4/11 Ray 4/12 Simone 4/13 Josue 4/14 No School *Star student will read a book to the class.
