Being A Writer
We will be working on Unit 3 Week 3 this week. During this week students will hear a story called: Wait and See. This story is about how a little girls wacky birthday wishes all come true. The students will generate ideas for stories about wishes and write their own stories. I will then work with them to edit their story. They will also illustrate and share their stories with the class.
Fundations
This week we will begin Unit 6 Week 2. We will continue to work on BASE words, suffixes, digraphs, glued sounds and trick words.
The week of 12/16 we will also continue to work on Unit 6. We will complete week 3 and we will take the Unit test on 1/3/14 after reviewing on 1/2/14. / Math
We will continue to explore Investigations Unit 3. We are still working on Investigation 3 in Unit 3. This investigation will have students working with addition and subtraction strategies.
