Mystery Reader – Dominic’s mom surprised us on Friday as a mystery reader! She read Turkey Trouble. We loved hearing the story.

OUR LEARNING:

Reading– This week we began our non-fiction unit. Students practiced taking a sneak peak, chatting about what they learned, and rereading to help them comprehend what they read in their non-fiction books.

Writing – Students worked on teaching with their illustrations in their books and using mentor texts to help them research topics they were interested in learning more about.

Math – We worked on solving subtraction story problems. Students practiced finding which number was the total and which numbers were the partners. From there, they made a math mountain to solve.

Word Study – This week students learned about these word endings:

  • ing
  • ed
  • s/es
