Here is the "snack size" version of our curriculum updates. I'm working hard on grading and writing progress reports, so here is a snapshot of what we are working on at school this week. :)
Writing:
-Blue book assessment : A piece of writing the students receive no conferences over or help with. I will use this as a data point (along with other samples) as I work on progress reports
-Verbs: Verbs are action words we can use to "unfreeze" our characters and make stories more exciting
-Using graphic organizers to plan for a story: Students will practice using a graphic organizer to plan for a fiction story.
-Focus is still working on a well-developed beginning, middle, and end
Math:
-Add 2 multiples of 10
-Use mental math to add tens to a 2-digit number
-Use a hundred chart to add tens and ones
-Use a number line to solve addition problems
-Continued work with story problem solving and explaining/justifying answers and analyzing others' work
Reading:
-Finding important facts in a non-fiction fact
-Identifying main idea/supporting details
Social Studies:
-Statue of Liberty
-White house
-Bald eagle
-President's Day
