Classroom Learning and Happenings
Literacy
Literacy
In reading, have been diving deeper into fairy tales during our literacy block! We have been exploring what it means when a book has been adapted and comparing different versions of familiar fairy tales. Students are noticing how characters, settings, events, and details can change from one version to another while still keeping the heart of the original story.
In writing, we have been exploring the elements of shape and thinking about how different shapes can be combined and used to create pictures. Students are beginning to see how simple shapes can come together to represent more complex ideas and images.
Math
Math
In Unit 1, students will focus on learning how to use a variety of math tools and manipulatives. Students will explore how these tools can help them model their thinking, solve problems, and build a strong foundation in math.
