A Peek At The Week
-In reading we are continuing to switch to our leveled reading groups. Students should be bringing home daily reading homework.
-During math we will continue to work on the concept of subtraction. We will also identify one-less and zero-less of any given number. Students will continue their work on addition and subtraction during center time.
-Writing time will be used on writing a story about our family. Students will write a draft and then we will practice adding more details in our writing and illustrations. Students will also focus on listening and being able to ask more from the writer as well as share what they found out.
-Our Core Knowledge time will continue with Social Studies this week with our unit on Early World Civilizations. We will discuss Ancient Egypt. We will locate Egypt on a map, learn about the ancient people, and practice writing our names with Hieroglyphics.
