"Peek at the Week" December 1- 5

Take a look at our week!

Math Workshop 

We wrapped up Unit 3 this week. The assessments came home in your child's folder on Friday. Please be sure to return these on Monday! 

Reader's Workshop

We started a mini unit on nonfiction this week! We learned that readers read nonfiction books to learn new things and become experts on different topics. 

We started the week exploring the different nonfiction topics we have in our classroom. 

We also noticed nonfiction books have text features! We are keeping a list of all he different features we discover. 

We also learned that readers have to get their minds ready to read nonfiction. Readers think about what they already know about a topic and what they might be wondering. 

Word Work

We learned about the long and short sounds of Ii this week. 

We sorted the long and short sounds of Ii. We also highlighted long I sounds that had the silent E at the end!

 We also learned 5 new word wall words: 

Their

Then

Them

Out

don't

Science 

We explored the water cycle more this week by creating a water cycle mobile!  We learned that water starts as accululation, goes up as evaporation, forms clouds as condensation, and comes down as precipitation!  We are working hard at using these big words 

We had a great week!!
