Last week we became familiar with our text books and started getting used to working with them. We have spent a lot of time practicing writing in our Yomans and transitioning from different subjects. In Math we reviewed place value and the three ways of writing numbers. We also took our first times table quiz on the 10's and did amazing! Language Arts lessons included learning about statements and practicing rough drafts in our journals and editing them for a final drafts. We also began learning the basics to cursive handwriting. Our Reading lessons last week focused on fluency and comprehension as we read a story about animals and their habitats. In Social studies we began chapter 1 all about communities. After reading we discussed with our partners ways our communities are alike and different.
This week we had a short week so we took the opportunity to focus on some important upcoming skills such as multiplication and paragraph structure. We also worked on a fun writing activity where we interviewed a classmate to learn 10 new things about them.
