I cannot believe how quickly these weeks are flying by! Here are the curriculum topics for this coming week!
*Reading: We are continuing our author study unit by looking at Mike Thaler and the "Black Lagoon" series. I am very excited about teaching with these books because they offer a humorous and imaginative point of view for students to see. Our skill focus with these book will be comparing fact vs. fantasy (compare/contrast).
*Reader's Theater: This week, we continue with another funny play titled, "The Silly Wishes." A man who always seems to complain about everything is granted three wishes by an elf. Do you think you can predict what this woodsman might wish for?
*Math: This week in math, we will be practicing our calculator skills. Almost all people seem to have a calculator within their reach these days, whether on their phone, iPod, computer, etc. Since we all have access to this technology, it is very important that we know how to use them to help us be successful individuals.
*Social Studies: We are beginning to delve further into our unit on the Solar System! We will start with the Sun on Monday and begin to work through the planets the remainder of the week. As we learn about each star/planet, we will be adding a representation of it to our individual solar system models!
*Spelling: In the spirit of Groundhog's Day, our spelling words this week will all relate to this "holiday"!
Have a wonderful weekend!!
