Week in Review

This week, we continued our unit on Number Sense/Place Value with numbers to 99. During this unit we will be working on representing numbers with models, objects and tens and ones. We will practice skip counting, counting forward and backward, comparing numbers using <,>,= and building sets that represent numbers larger or smaller than a given number.

In reading, we continued our author study on Jan Brett to learn all about what makes her special as an author. She has so many amazing children's books for this time of the year! We are going to be learning about features of fiction books like author's lesson, character development, writing summaries, comparing and contrasting books, making connections, and many other story element activities!

In science we began our unit on bodies of water. We investigated and compared the properties of puddles, ponds, streams, rivers, lakes, and oceans, including color, clarity, size, shape, and whether it is freshwater or saltwater.

In social studies, we finished our unit on how Thanksgiving traditions have Changed Over Time. Kids are coming home with the project they completed today!
