What we have been up to:
Reading: This week we focused on –ike, -ide, and –ine. We spent times this week working on building our predicting skills. This week we read a reader’s theater called “Smile, Mike!” Reader’s theater is a good time to work on building fluency by reading something again and again.
Math: We have started Unit 5 math. This week we learned about dimes and pennies. We worked on grouping pennies to count by 10s. We also practiced counting money with dimes and pennies.
Science/ Social Studies: We started a new social studies unit on meeting people. We compared Iowa to a different country in the world. We are learning how various cultures compare and contrast to our culture. Some of the comparisons are: food, transportation, clothing, and holidays.
