Our reader's theater play next week will be "Big Mose," which is the story of a New York City firefighter who lived over 150 years ago. We will be needing a few props (firefighter hats, etc.), so we will be making a list after our first read-through on Monday.
In reading, our skill of the week is Making Predictions. Throughout the week we will be using several books, activities, and passages to practice making predictions and giving reasons/evidence to support our predictions.
In math, we will be practicing our addition and subtraction skills at a more difficult level. We will also spend most of the week recognizing key words that help us determine if a word problem is addition or subtraction.
In Social Studies, we have begun learning about the United States. Our initial focus will be on Illinois. At the end of the next week, students will be choosing a state to write a short report about independently. They will have one week to complete this. In class, we will be completing one of these same reports on Illinois together so the students will have a model to use for their own state reports. More information will be coming home later next week.
Have a great weekend!
