In the Classroom
In Math the students will be using strategies
to add and subtract numbers within 20. They will
be working on developing fluency as well.
In Reading, we will focus on comprehension of
Literary Text. They will answer questions about
key details and focus on story elements. Stories in
Junior Great Books will be a focus for class
discussion.
In Writing, we will focus on writing opinion
pieces, organization, and sentence fluency.
Students will work on using verbs, pronouns,
adjectives, conjunctions, and commas correctly.
In Science and Social Studies, we will work on
our environment unit. Human actions that harm the
environment will be studied. They will describe
places in the environment using geographic
characteristics.
