Here are some curriculum updates!
Reading: We recently finished our latest read aloud The Kid Who Ran For President! The kids loved this book and it was a great way to learn about the election process. In Daily 5 we are continuing to do small guided reading groups! The kids have grown so much since the beginning of the year.
Math- We have began our unit on multiplication. We are focusing at recognizing groups of items and developing patterns to help us count them quickly! This week we began our investigations over our Muffles and Truffles unit. This asked the students to take large groups of Truffles and break them down into boxes of 10. The students have been doing well on this topic so far. When we come back in Janurary we will begin to work harder on the fact fluency.
Science- We concluded our unit on citizenship and American symbols with having each of the kids present their American symbol project to the class. We have now began a unit on weather.
Writing- We have been hard at work on a project the kids are making to give as a present for Christmas. We have also begun our nonfiction writing unit. The students are currently writing a piece over something that they are an expert in!
This week we also did a fun activity to decorate our room for Christmas! We lit up the room with kindness! We took some time to write out some kind words about one another and hung them up around the classroom! They look great!
