What are we learning???? Here's what we are learning.......
We continue with Informational Writing, but will begin with Response to Literature mid-March. Our AMAZING focus during science will be PLANTS! We will learn about plant parts and how plants grow. We will "dig deep" when learning during this unit! :) Our next science unit is on Animals! Stay tuned for that one! :) For math, we continue to use money and time, but measurement will become our focus as well. We still work on addition facts through use of math centers and math games done as independent work or whole class work. Feel free to do some practice of math facts as well!
For Health, we talk about Personal Safety. For this unit, we focus on all areas of being safe and careful so we do not get hurt. In Reading, we continue with reading group work and activities as well as whole group reading, small group reading, buddy reading and partner games. We continue to work on language arts/phonics units that help us to become better readers AND writers!
Thank you for all of your support!
