Happy Peace Day!

This week we talked about bullying and how we are going to all be upstanders! Today we had a peace assembly with the whole school.

What we learned this week:

Reading – This week we have been reading realistic fiction stories. At Daily 5 we practice reading to self and reading to someone. When we read we practice our CAFE strategies! We are part 2 of The Year of Billy Miller but we still have 150 pages to go!

Writing – This week in writing we have been writing realistic fictions stories. We learned realistic fictions stories have characters, setting, problem and solution. The characters in realistic fiction stories do real things and act like real people.

Math – In math this week we started number talks. Number talks are going to help learn math facts and talk about addition strategies. We practiced using +10 to solve +9 facts. We also practiced using double facts to help us solve other facts. Yesterday learned about even and odd and how to use the buddy buddy, no buddy strategy.

Social Studies – We have been talking about communities. This week we talked about cities, suburbs and small towns. We even painted murals of the different communities for the hallway! Here are pictures of us working hard on them:

 

Thanks for reading!
