Curriculum Update

Literacy- In reading, students are discovering strategies for solving hard words. Some of the strategies including looking at the picture, looking at the parts of the words, thinking about the meaning and seeing if the word makes sense, and trying the word two ways (with a short vowel sound and a long vowel sound). While working on writing, students have been studying mentor texts and craft moves. Some of these include making key words bold to emphasize and using interesting verbs to help describe emotions. Additionally, students have been learning about action verbs and being verbs (linked for you to practice at home with your child).

Math- Students continue to work on computation strategies.They are counting on to find the “mystery number” in missing addend equations such as 6 + _ = 9. They are understanding the meaning of the equal sign by pairing equivalent expressions and making true number sentences. They are representing the same story scenario with switched expressions (3 + 2 = 2 + 3), as well as identifying other equivalent expressions (4 + 4 = 2 + 6), building the foundation of their understanding of the commutative property. Students are still working with number bonds and number sentences.

Science- Students are beginning to learn what plants need in order to live. They will be going to the innovation hub in to coming weeks to create plant homes. Then, they will plant beans and observe its’ growth.

Portuguese- Estamos trabalhando com os nomes dos alunos da classe para refletirmos sobre os sons das letras e das sílabas em Português.
