A Peek at Our Week
Writing:This week, students finished up their first realistic fiction series. Many students have several books in their series to share! We made folders to hold our first series, and shared some of our stories with classmates. Next week, students will learn how to create a new pretend character to begin their new series. They will learn that this series will be bigger and better than the first. We will learn how to make this series into chapter books with a beginning, middle, and end chapter!
Math:This week, students worked on reviewing strategies to help them add two digit numbers. They practiced drawing quick tens and ones to represent the numbers. Then they counted the tens together and the ones together. They also reviewed the "number bond" strategy by breaking apart one of the numbers into its tens and ones. Video links to these strategies are below for reinforcement at home.
Word Study: This week, we worked with <oi> and <oy>. We reviewed our secret stories for <oi and oy>. We worked with a variety of words such as toy, boy, joy, soil, spoil, voice, etc. Students know that you will not find <oi> at the end of a word because English words do not end with u, v, i, or j. Next week, we will work with <aw> and <au>.
