Curriculum Night- Thanks again for your support this school year. I thought I would link the curriculum night slides here and on our class home page in case you need to reference them. 

ELA- Pigeon Has to go to School- what a fun book to talk about why we read. This week we focused on "why" we read.  To laugh- To learn - To Wonder - To Relax

Writing- We continue to review our handwriting routines. It is important for our brain to have automaticity writng letters so our brain power can focus on what we want to write.

Word Study- There are several locations a sound can be heard, At the beginning, middle and end of a word. As we review sounds students listen and identify where they hear the sound. 

Math- We started Module 1  - throughout this unit students will compose and decompose numbers. Think -part -part -total.  One math tool that is used daily in math is the number bond.

Science/Social- Students were engineers and created two different ways to get Pigeon to school. One was a catapult and the other was a zipline. Throughtout the process, students learned about levers, fulcrums and friction. 

SEL- What does it mean to "pay attention". We did several activities to see how paying attention makes a difference in how successful we are. We connected it to the story Swimmy. The fish all swim together to a form one big fish to live and avoid the large tuna fish. Our class needs to do the same, follow the group plan so we all can learn together.
