Weekly Update:
August 20 - 24, 2018
Language Arts
In reading and writing this week, we'll be launching the workshop and setting up routines. Some of the lessons this week will focus on choosing "just right" books, organizing reader's and writer's notebooks, building stamina in independent reading and writing and developing foundational skills that will support further learning throughout the year.
Math
We will also be launching our math workshop this week. The students will be learning routines for our daily mental math number talks, they'll develop agreements for working collaboratively, and will also learn steps for problem solving and engage in several hands-on problem solving activities.
Social Studies
In our first Social Studies unit of study, students will explore the characteristics that make up a culture and appreciate how these characteristics reflect people’s identity, beliefs, values, rituals and traditions. The main goal of the unit is for students to recognize commonalities and gain an appreciation and understanding of the various cultures and belief systems around the world.
