We are back to a full week! It's been great meeting with you all and getting to know you. As I said to all of you, I thoroughly enjoy this class. They are the sweetest. Makes my job easy.
Here's the weekly news.
Math
We are wrapping up place value. We will have an end of unit test on Tuesday. I will spend some time reviewing place value tomorrow. After looking at the test, the kids should do fairy well. I want the kids to get practice with test taking skills. Wednesday the kids will have a PSA (Priority Standards Assessment) on the computer. This is new to me so we will do the best we can. The PSA is over place value so it should go well. Just need to learn how to navigate the computer tools. We will then start addition on Thursday.
Reading
This week for non fiction, we will look at keywords and how we can gather facts on the same topic from a variety of books. I will continue to discuss text features and the characteristics of non fiction. The kids will also have new book clubs this week.
Snap word test on Friday
Writing
My focus this week will be on leads and editing. My goal is for the kids to start working on their second non fiction piece.
Social Studies
We are moving on to explorers. We will learn about Christopher Columbus, Lewis and Clark, Marco Polo, etc.
