POPCORN WORDS: about, home, went
READING: This week in reading we looked closely at non-fiction books. We started this week in reading learning about how Avid Readers talk like an expert – they use fancy words. Using a book called Honey Bees, we found the fancy words pollen and nectar. We looked at non-fiction books and found WOW things and shared them with our reading partners. We had fun reading playdates with our reading partners using non-fiction books. It was fun playing school and playing games with non-fiction books! We finished the week with each table studying a topic of non-fiction books. They had fun learning all about certain topics!
WRITING: During writing this week, we started a new type of writing – Persuasive Writing. We thought of problems that we have at school and decided to write about walking in the hallway. We gave reasons why this is a problem and then gave a solution to the problem. We finished the week by making a poster to persuade students to walk in the hallway at Georgetown.
MATH: This week during math, we practiced adding and subtracting equations. We also practiced partners of ten using 5 groups. We worked on some math mountains and drawing the partners “tiny tumblers” that are tumbling down each side of the mountain. We finished the week in math by learning more about cubes and other shapes. We made shape books to practice our shapes!
LITERACY/PHONICS: During our literacy/phonics time this week, we practiced our popcorn words, word families and h brothers.
