Good morning!<\/p>\n
If all goes as planned, this morning will be our last time for WIDA testing: the writing portion is left.<\/p>\n
A full week of school expected \ud83d\ude42\u00a0 Spelling words feature the “schwa” sound. The “a” before or at the end of words: along, agree, again, idea, comma. Dolch words: green, always, them, very, because.<\/p>\n
Our reading strategy circles back to how stories are set up: the beginning introduces the characters, setting and problem. Middle events work toward resolving the problem. Ending wraps up with a solution and life lesson.<\/p>\n
Since we’re reading narrative, we’ll be focused on writing a narrative story. The students all began a story a few weeks back but due to snow\/ice days I didn’t get to wrap it up like I wanted to. This week, we will be focusing on their story ending and what their main character learned from their experiences.<\/p>\n
Math continues with mental and written strategies composing 10 tens to 100, moving on from 10 ones to 10. Written strategies will also be emphasized.<\/p>\n
Science still is learning the names and pictures of land forms, also learning how they are formed.<\/p>\n
Social studies continues with economics. This week the new vocabulary is “opportunity cost”: this is our second choice when we can’t have all that we want due to limited resources of money.<\/p>\n
Have a good week and stay warm\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
