Week 7

Class Notes

This Wednesday is an early release day; 12:15 dismissal.

There is no school next Monday; it's Indigenous Peoples' Day.

We will continue with Unit 2 of Fundations. This week we will learn how to spell words with consonant suffixes and vowel suffixes.   Link to Unit 2 home resources.

Readers Workshop lessons will continue to focus on comprehension strategies and how to get back on track when the story gets confusing or "fuzzy." 

Writers Workshop will focus on elaboration and paragraphing skills. We will experiment with different types of leads for our small moment stories and also explore how writers use separate paragraphs to tell stories  "bit by bit."

In Math, we will continue to focus on the concept of multiplication; connecting arrays to multiplication equations and understanding the commutative property. 

Science lessons will focus on exploring adaptations of animals  and how these adaptations help them to survive in their habitats.
