Here is a brief look at the upcoming week!
*Social Studies: During Social Studies this week, we will be reviewing the sun and eight planets in our Solar System. There will be a short quiz on Thursday before we begin learning about the asteroids, comets, etc. the following week.
*Reading: Starting on February 21st, each student will begin reading(in class)a novel/chapter book at their reading level. They will not be given a formal test to assess their comprehension of the story, rather they will demonstrate their learning by completing various reading strategy graphic organizers. Following the completion of each chapter, students will choose one activity of their choice from the reading packet they will receive. Some of the strategies included are sequencing, identifying main ideas and details, identifying the setting, character maps, and vocabulary. In order to prepare for this, we will be using Jan Brett stories in the classroom this week and completing these same activities.
*Math: In celebration of Valentine's Day, we will be completing several different Valentine's Day math activities. We will continue to practice addition and subtraction, along with graphing and reading/creating tables and charts.
*Readers Theater: Instead of reading our usual reader's theater play this week, we will be using this time to read both Valentine's Day and winter related stories to practice our comprehension skills and strategies.
Have a wonderful Valentine's Day!
