What We Are Learning

Language Arts

In Reader's Workshop this week we will continue our unit on becoming an AVID Reader! We will learn and talk about how AVID Readers LOVE Reading books! We will learn about and talk about fun things we can do with books too!!! Everyone is doing such a great job reading!

VIRTUAL LEARNERS ONLY: We will NOT return book bag books and get new ones until after spring break.  You will keep the books you have for the week of March 1st and the week of March 8th.  During the week of March 8th I will cancel our Language Arts zoom meetings and set up a time to individually meet with Virtual Learners to Assess their reading skills. 

Face to Face Learners return your RED Book Bags on Monday,  March 1st  to get new books for the week.  I will assess your child's reading skills in class. 

In Writer's Workshop we will finish up our unit on "How TO...." writing! Everyone is doing a great job!!!!

This week we will practice adding more details! I have loved reading what everyone knows how to do!

Math

In Math this week, we will be starting a new unit all about MONEY! We will learn about the different types of coins in our American money system. We will learn about how to recognize each coin and what it's value is.

Science

In Science this week, we are going to be discussing Living vs. Non-Living objects and how living things require resources to survive and non-living things do not.  This week we will focus on living animals and the things they need to survive.  

Social Studies

In Social Studies this week, we will continue our unit on  Geography! We will continue Maps Skills!

We will learn about our community and the places in it.  We will discuss map locations, globes, and map keys to compare locations.
