WRITING – We are writing our opinion about a candy. We are using a bubble map and a flow map to help us complete our blueprint.

READING – I went to a special class with Mrs. Faraj and several teachers, two weeks ago. It was about the importance of choice in learning for deeper understanding. Other than one group who is reading a chapter book, I am allowing the students to pick their reading group book based on their interests. I am no longer sending home the cards to sign. I am hoping you will read with your first grader.

MATH – We will take a quiz tomorrow about non-standard units of measurement. Then we will finish up Module 3 with data collection.

SOCIAL STUDIES – We are working on human and physical characteristics in geography. Then we will learn about how the land is changed or modified.

Have a great week.

Mrs. Korte
