What We Are Learning
Reading: This week we added
the Listen to Reading element to our Daily Five Literacy Café. Ask your child about our 5 classroom iPads! We also
learned two more strategies to help us read accurately. Ask your child about Skippy the Frog and
Stretchy Snake. We also finished
DRA testing. This test tells me your
child’s reading level.
Writing: Your child continues to
draft small moment stories. We learned how to stretch out stories by looking at
the small details. We focused on how to “unfreeze” characters by giving more
information about the characters in the story.
Math: During math this week we continued learning about
adding and subtracting numbers using a number line and drawing pictures. We
really focused our time on solving subtraction word problems.
Theme: This week we used our Theme time to learn about apples.
We made a Johnny Apple Seed book and read about apples in our Scholastic News
Magazine.

Take Home Folders

how your child’s day was at school.
