Shared Reading: See the detailed weekly skills overview here (online). We will start with a review of Unit 2 (There are no spelling words for a review week) and continue with Unit 3 Week 1, Unit 3 Week 2, and Unit 3 Week 3.
Spelling: Access to the spelling word lists can be found here (online).
Unit Studies:
We will be wrapping up our social studies unit entitled “Working to Meet Our Needs”. Students distinguished between wants and needs, recognized producers, consumers, and service workers, and learned how we use community resources. Students also learned about trading for goods and services, bartering, saving money, and making good choices when spending money.
Our next focus will be a science unit on rocks. Students will discover attributes about different types of rocks.
Writing:
Personal Narrative writing will continue to be our focus. Students will be writing stories about experiences from their life. We will also be working on doing some research. Students will be reading non-fiction texts and taking notes about different topics.
Math:
We are continuing with our addition and subtraction unit. These lessons will follow very similar patterns. Students will be exposed to different strategies to solve problems using things as a hundreds chart, patterns in counting, and skip counting. This prepares the students for when we are adding and subtracting 2 digit numbers with and without regrouping.
Thank you again for all you do for your child, our classrooms, and Spring Ridge!
