What’s Happening in Room 26
·
Math: This week, we started to introduce
new strategies on subtracting 2 and 3 digit numbers. We started with ten
frames, number lines, and hundred charts. We are also continuing to practice
our 2 and 3 digit addition problems.
o
Next week in math, we will continue to work on 2
and 3 digit subtracting unit. We will practice the strategies we learn this
week and begin to learn more. We will start to moving into solving subtraction
problem through algorithm (stacking).
·
Reading: We have been working on
identifying main idea of the article and for each paragraph. We have also been
identifying supporting details in each paragraph too. We have been practicing
with different nonfiction articles.
Today we read A Picture Book of Abraham Lincoln, and the students
identified the main idea & 3 supporting details. We then made Lincoln tall hats that they
glued to a print out of their faces.
These are hung in the hallway – so make sure to check them out we you
come for conferences next week!
o
Next week in reading, we will be working on
inferring. We have discussed inferring before, so we know a little about it
already! We will dig deeper into inferring and see what all inferring might
include!
·
Spelling: This week and last week we
worked on adding –ed to words. With CVC
words you double the last letter & then add –ed & with CVVC & VCC
words you just add –ed.
o
Next week, we will continue with words ending in
–ed, but this time working on different ways to add the –ed. We will be looking
at CVC words (clipped, knotted &
rubbed), CYC words (tasted, skated, traded, scored & wasted),
and words that we drop the –e and add the –ed (marked & stamped).
·
Writing: This week, we finished up
our information writing about the animal of our choice. We are worked so hard
on publishing our writing. We worked on adding different text features to our
published work and using our best handwriting. We are so excited to show off
your students work to you!
o
Next week in writing, we will be starting our
opinion writing. We have fun activities this week where we will have to make
really hard decisions on our favorite thing and give reasons why it is our
favorite. We also we be making counter arguments on why the others are not our
favorite!
·
Social Studies: Today in social studies,
we learned about Abraham Lincoln's life, had a short conversation about the Civil War & timelines.
o
Next week in Social Studies, we will be
researching different place where we would like to live. We will pick 2 places
to research and then pick the place we would most like to live! We will give
reasons why we would rather live in one place instead of the other based on the
facts we have researched.
·
Maker Space: Today in Maker Space, the
students used their creativity with infusion beads! They had different outlines
to choose from or they could design their own. The students choose what colors
they wanted to create with. An adult ironed their beads so they would stick
together. Your student should have their creations in their backpack!
