A Peek At The Week
-In reading we are continuing to direct instruction at students’ reading levels.
-In Math we are continuing with place value. Students will begin looking at 2-digit numbers as an addition sentence that combine 10’s and 1’s. We will also begin using the greater than, less than language as well as learning the appropriate sign to match.
-Writing time this week will continue with non-fiction writing. Students will be given the opportunity to interview a peer and write about that friend! This is always a favorite writing activity
-Our Core Knowledge time will continue with our Social Studies unit on Early Exploration and Settlement.
