Week 6

Class Notes

There will be no school on Thursday; Happy New Year to those celebrating Rosh Hashanah!

Fundations- We will begin Unit 2 of Fundations: adding suffixes to root words.  Link to Unit 2 home resources.

Readers Workshop- Reading lessons will focus on comprehension. Readers give themselves a comprehension check. Who is in this part? What just happened? Does this fit with something that already happened, or is this new? 

Writers Workshop- We will right true stories about people and places that matter to us.

Math- We will continue with Section B which focuses on representing and solving multiplication problems involving equal groups. Students will grow to understand multiplication in terms of equal groups.

Science- We will learn about the adaptations isopds and other animals have to survive in their habitats. We will consider how changes to habitats affect their survival. 

Second Step- Lesson 3: Being Assertive. Knowing how to ask for help is an important skill for learning. The ability to communicate assertively not only contributes to academic success, but is also important for solving problems and standing up for oneself or others.
