We had a great week! Here are some things we worked on in class:
Writing - This week our nonfiction writers are working on adding expert words to our writing. An expert word is written in bold because the author wants it to stand out. Ask your student about their topic!
Reading - Our nonfiction readers are doing some extra brainy thinking as we read. This week we have been focusing on the features of a nonfiction text. The features we talked about this week were pictures, expert words and glossary.
Math - This week in math, we learned a few new diagrams to help us solve word problems. We have also been working on adding and subtraction 10 and 100 to two and three digit numbers. We have been working on building our automaticity of these facts.
Social Studies - This week we took a deep dive into two important presidents - George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. We had a great discussion about these two great presidents and we learned many new facts! Ask your student what they know about these presidents!
