I hope you are having a wonderful week! Here are some quick updates and notes for our class.
📚 Learning Updates:
📊 Math - We are continuing to work on our graphing skills. Students are increasing their ability to accurately organize data into a graph and explain their observations about the data.
📝 Language Arts - During our literacy time, we are continuing to focus on our word sort training. We have learned a variety of word sorting techniques, such as speed sorting and no peeking sorts with partners. We also practiced writing our words during a written sort, as well as using them in context in descriptive sentences. Next week, students will begin working on specific sorts at their skill level. I will send more information home on Monday.
🌏 Social Studies - We continued to build on our map skills this week. Once we have mastered all of the necessary skills, we will get to create our very own maps! Stay tuned for some exciting "Imagination Islands!"
