Hi Parents,
This week is a little bit wonky with the upper grades testing for MAP. Originally, second grade was scheduled to MAP test this week, but with all the logistics, we will test the week of the 17th.
We have a schedule change this week, but that just means the kids will have specials in the morning instead of the afternoon.
Remember we will have a half day on Thursday.
Math
This week we will name different kinds of word problems. We will work on part/part/whole, comparing, start unknown, etc. The kids have been good so far identifying key words to help them identify the correct operation. My main goal is for the kids to match the correct bar model to the correct problem and understand what the question is asking.
Reading
This week our focus is on literary language. We will name and notice different types of literary language and discuss what the author really means. During reader's workshop, book clubs will be up and running again.
Writing
We are writing about our reading. The kids are learning to form an opinion about their characters and supporting their opinion with examples from the text. Lessons will focus on writing to our audience, retelling important parts, and using a checklist to set goals.
Snap words: Snap word test on Friday
Social Studies
Maps! The kids will learn/or review parts of a map.
