In Readers Workshop, we will explore nonfiction, informational texts. 

We will wrap up Unit 5 in Fundations this week. Link to Unit 5 Family Resources

In Writer's Workshop, we will continue to write nonfiction "Expert Books." Students are working on using organizational structures (table of contents and chapters).

In Math, we will begin Unit 3 which focuses on adding and subtracting 3 digit numbers. Students will learn to add within 1,000 using algorithms based on place value and properties of operations.

Social Studies lessons will focus on mapping skills. Students will learn and apply technical vocabulary such as cardinal directions, map scale, legend, compass rose. 

Second Step Lesson: Making Friends. Being able to make conversation is an important social skill students can use to build friendships. Having friends at school increases students’ feelings of connection and belonging.
