What I’m Learning:
This week our mentor text is Aunt Flossie’s Hats (and Crab Cakes Later). In Reading, we are visualizing to create mental pictures, rereading to gain more details, making text-to-self connections, and inferencing. We have our first Reading Comprehension test on Friday. In grammar, we are exploring simple subjects and simple predicates. In writing, we are building our writing community. In math, we are learning strategies to help us multiply. We will have an ISP (Short test) over arrays and groups on Friday. We will also have our first Fact Fluency test this Friday. It will be a 5 minute timed test over multiplication and division with 0’s, 1’s, 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s.
