Math: We started Unit 2: Number Sense with Addition and Subtraction. Students learned three different properties of addition: the commutative property, the associative property, and the identity property. Students struggled with this a little bit at the beginning, but most of them got the hang of it after some practice!
Science: In science we are half way through our Astronomy unit. We will have a test on Tuesday of next week. Students have completed study guides with all the information that they need to review for the test.
Reading: This week our story was a Time For Kids story called "Champions of the World". We talked about reading nonfiction texts and looking at text features to give us more information. This was our last story in our first reading unit. A study guide will be given out on Monday and we will have a reading test on Thursday of next week.
Writing: All students have chosen their personal narrative topic and started the prewriting process. We talked about the importance of focusing on a small and important event. Students learned how to make a brainstorming web and are excited to begin writing.
Religion: This week in religion we have been talking about what God tells us about creation and how God created us in His image and likeness. Today we read one of my favorite books called, "You are Special" by Max Lucado and talked about how we are all special.
