It's hard to believe that we have already been in school for almost two months! We have such a fantastic class and we have been working together very well. The following is a list of learning objectives that we have been covering so far this school year. Math: We have completed a unit on Data Management (concrete graphs & pictographs, tally marks). We are now working on the unit Numbers to 100. We will be learning about ordinal numbers, odd/even numbers and counting forwards/backwards to 100 by 2s, 5s, and 10s from different starting points, using a number line, a hundreds chart, and money.Reading: We have been working on building our stamina and independence for Daily 5. So far we have been working on Read to Self, Read to Someone, and now Work on Writing. We are also doing Guided Reading and strategies for reading from our CAFE Menu. Writing: We are focussing on the 6 traits for writing. We have been working on Ideas/Content and Organization. Right now we are having strong "hooks" and beginning sentences.
