First Grade-
In Math we will continue our unit on telling time as we learn to identify the time to the half hour. We will use our Smart Board as we play "Watchdog", a time game.
Our vowel pattern this week is the sound of 'ee' as in the word 'see'. We will make a 'tree' book filled with 'ee' words. The students will enjoy a book titled My Pet, Bobby. It's about a dog who has a boy for a pet. It will be fun to create a flip book describing the beginning, middle, and ending of this story.
Second Grade-
In Math we will use the skills we know about two digit addition as we learn how to add three digit numbers using regrouping. We will use our place value mats and base 10 manipulatives to learn why we need to sometimes regroup to add.
Our vowel pattern of the week is the sound of 'oi' as in the words "oil" and "boy". We will read a book about boys and highlight many words containing this sound. We will read a book titled The Big Snow as we learn about making 'text-to-self' connections.
Third Grade-
We will begin our unit on measurement in Math. We will use rulers as we measure classroom objects to the nearest 1/4 inch. Our previous study of fractions should help us understand this concept. We will use the Smart Board to measure objects using a Smart Board ruler!
We have been reading the book Tonight On the Titanic. The children have been making text to text connections as they check out and read other nonfiction books about the Titanic from our media center. The children are also learning about informational writing as they have each chosen an animal from a Georgia habitat to research.
