Next week, we will dive into learning:

Math

In this first section of Unit 2, students add and subtract within 100 using strategies based on place value and the relationship between addition and subtraction. Equations and expressions in this section are limited to those like 17 + __= 48 or 65 - 23, where decomposing a ten is not required.

Phonics

Students will begin Unit 3 next week. This unit focuses on closed syllable exceptions (-ild, -old, -ost, -ind, and -olt).  We will also cover vowel teams (ai, ay, ea, ee, and ey).  A support packet has been sent home in Friady Folders.  I encourage you to sit down with your students and reinforce these concepts at home!

Writing

Students have been learning about details and transition words! Next week, we'll begin our first official writing unit on Narrative Writing.  We'll pair this with a focus on fairytales in reading so students have exemplars to build stories from (think of a fractured fairytale).

Thematic

Our first experiment was a smashing success! Thank you to Mrs. Gantt for volunteering.  Students have learned all about geologists, weathering, and erosion this week.  Next up, we're going to see erosion in action with another hands-on experiment! Students will hypothesize and investigate the causes of canyons.

Language Arts

Students are beginning to think of story structure as we read in class. We're paying close attention to characters, setting, beginning, middle, and ends of stories.  Next week, we'll begin our focus with fairytales. Students will be able to answer who, what, where, when, why questions, as well as compare and contrast stories. Please remember to read with your student for 20 minutes a night!

Social-Emotional Learning

Students have been participating in structured Social Emotional Learning lessons each morning before Specialities! This sets the day up for success and reminds them of helpful language they can use throughout the day.  Next week, we're going to begin learning about responsibility.  This will be a 4-week unit where we explore responsibility at school, practice engagement, and build community circle agreements and participation skills.
