Reading

We have really been working on a variety of comprehension strategies in our classroom.  We are working on Metacognition, Schema, making a picture in your mind, determining importance, questioning, and inferring.  All of these take a lot of time and require your child to think about what they are reading in their book club books.  Please ask them to tell you what each of these mean!

Math

We are continuing to work on our subtraction unit.  This has been a challenge in our room.  We are spending a lot of time reviewing that you count up all that you have first.  This will be your biggest number.  Then you take away and what you have left is the answer.  Please continue to practice at home.

Science/SS/Health

In Science we are continuing to work on their wood unit but have moved to the paper side of it.  The kids love testing out the different papers!  In SS we have been discussing jobs and what kinds of jobs people have.  We have also spent time discussing how to save money.
