1. Star Students 2/18-2/22 Calendar Birthdays No Birthdays this week!
Literacy
Our book of the week is “Dan the Flying Man” and the sight words are “can & this”. We will be spending the next 2 weeks taking a trip through our Solar System! This will tie in with our nonfiction unity of study as the students use nonfiction texts to learn new information about the planets. Please have your child practice reading their sight words at home. Students will continue writing their last name on their work.
In Reading Workshop, we will continue our Nonfiction Unit of Study. Students will learn to ask and answer questions while they are reading an information text. We will be using books about the planets for this inquiry.
In Writing Workshop, students will continue to make “How to” books about topics they know and care about. They really are loving making little books to share with the class. You can see the pride they are taking in themselves as authors!

Math
This week we will begin Module 8 in which the students will explore the concept of subtraction. In lesson, 1 students will be able to recognize that addition involves putting groups together (composing), while subtraction involves taking a total apart (decomposing). In lesson 2, students are introduced to the symbol for subtraction. They will write equations to match subtraction stories, and relate these equations back to the story.
