Writer's Workshop:
We continue to work on brave spelling, unfreezing our characters, adding juicy details about one small moment, and reading our writing like a reader.

Word Wall Words:

uni- means one

form- means to shape
vaca/vac- means empty
struc/struct- means to build


Math:
This week we will be introducing the following math skills:
  • Commutative Property (identifying that 3 +2 = 5 is the same as 2 + 3 = 5.
  • Associative Property (To add 2 + 6 + 4, the second  two  numbers can be added to make a ten, so 2 + 6 + 4 = 2 + 10 = 12).
  • We will continue to work on adding and subtracting multiples of ten from numbers on the 120 chart (56 +20 = 76 or 89 -30 = 59). We know that when we subtract a multiple of ten we go towards the top of the chart- number gets smaller and when we add a multiple of ten we go towards the bottom of the chart- number gets larger.
Science:
We are making observations on our lima, kidney, and pinto beans.  Please check out our class blog on Seesaw:
