Here's what we were working on in the classroom:
Reading : We finished up our nonfiction reading unit last week by doing some nonfiction research and creating some 'fun fact' pages of our own. Each student found a fact that he/she felt was interesting and created a fun fact page. Ask your child what fact he/she wrote about!
Writing : The students continued working on their nonfiction All About books last week. They finished creating the web of facts that they know about their topics and then worked with me to create the sections that they are going to have in their books. Ask your child what topic he/she is writing about!
Math : We talked all about fact families last week. We started off learning about how the numbers on a domino relate to one another and then we transferred that thinking to fact triangles. Reviewing fact triangles are a great way for your child to practice his/her addition and subtraction facts at home.
