This week will continue our work on developing routines for reading and writing workshop by looking at and practicing what great readers and writers do, think, and say. In Reading this week, students will be developing retelling skills, exploring character traits in fiction texts, and begin noting important ideas in their reading with the use of thinkmarks. In Writing, children will begin generating ideas for their first piece of opinion writing, with a focus on themes and issues related to their lives.

Math

In math this week the students will be working with manipulatives in order to better understand place value of multi-digit whole numbers. They will be shown how the base ten number system helps us to add and subtract.

Science/ Social Studies

Our first unit called The Culture Unit falls under the Social Studies umbrella and will take us through until October/November. This week students will begin investigating their name as an introduction to the concept of identity and what influences it. Be prepared, as they might come home with questions to ask .
