Reading strategies: generate & answer questions
We will continue to generate and answer questions about
fiction and non-fiction texts.
Writing: We have read books as mentor texts to illustrate all the
writing strategies we have talked about and are trying to implement. We are looking at published authors as well as authors
in our room to find a great lead, a jazzed up sentence, a describing sentence,
a sentence that use a sentence starter etc. You can refer back to previous
homework for a deeper explanation.
We will also start writing “many moments” stories. So instead of describing one event they
will learn strategies to have a story which includes a few small moments.
Math:
We are continuing our unit on two digit addition and
subtraction. We will be spending a
couple more weeks on adding and subtracting numbers to 100, with a focus on
subtraction. However, we will continue
to practice these strategies throughout the remainder of the year. Please continue to practice adding and
subtracting one and two digit numbers with your child.
