What are we learning?
Math: In math this week, learners will use standard, word, and expanded forms to represent numbers up to 100. Learners will continue to use their knowledge of composing and decomposing numbers to build and represent numbers.
Reading: In reading workshop this week, learners will begin to explore how to choose a book and how a book wants to be read. We will begin building reading stamina and practice how to "scoop words". In writing workshop, learners will write small moment stories that are meaningful to them, learn to collect ideas for their stories, and practice adding lots of detail. Our phonics focus will be on exploring vowel teams.
Science: In science, will classify matter by physical properties, including shape, relative mass, relative temperature, texture, flexibility, and whether a material is a solid or a liquid.
Social Studies: In social studies this week, learners will begin researching historical figures who have shown good citizenship. They will collect their findings, and learn to cite sources.
