Welcome back!
Happy New Year! I'm wishing everyone the best for the 2022 year. I spent the first half of the break with COVID. I had mild symptoms but having to quarantine was not so fun. Luckily, my family and I tested negative right before Christmas so we could spend time with family.
We will slowly ease into things this week. I haven't seen the kids in forever and want to spend some time just catching up and bonding. With that said, we do have curriculum we need to get to.
Library- we do not have library this week, but I can send students in small groups to check out new books.
MAP- Heads up, we will have MAP testing next week. Tuesday will be math and Wednesday will be reading.
Math
We are diving into mixed word problems. This week I will talk through my thinking when working on word problems. The kids now will have to figure out what operation to use by looking at key words and understanding what the problem is asking.
Reading
We are starting a brand new unit called "Bigger Books Mean Amping Up Our Reading Power" We will review the importance of tracking our thinking, how to hold on to the story line as our books are getting longer, etc. I definitely want to spend some time reading and building our reading stamina. I'm sure there have been lots of fun things planned over the break so reading took a step aside.
Writing
We are moving on to opinion writing. We will discuss the difference from fact and opinion and work on making claims.
Science
This week is natural and man made resources.
