Literacy: Asking Questions and Wondering!
Unit 4 of our Making Meaning Curriculum has us exploring the thinking strategy of Questioning and Wondering! By focusing our thinking prior to reading with questions, or stopping during reading to ask and revisit questions, we are able to become more engaged and stretch our thinking!
Through this unit, we will continue to address MN English Language Arts standards 3.1.1.1/3.1.3.3: ask and answer questions referring to the text and describe characters in a story, as well as 3.1.2.2 Recount stories, including fables, folktales, and myths from diverse cultures; determine the central message, lesson, or moral and explain how it is conveyed through key details in the text.

Through our Making Meaning curriculum, we have also been focusing on social emotional goals as well. We have been reflecting on how to be a fair partner, listen respectfully, and analyzing the effect of their behavior on others and on the group work. Students will continue to share, take responsibility for their sharing/learning, and refer to the text to prove ideas and thoughts.

Math: Unit 3 The Four Operations
Unit three has us exploring the inverse operations of addition and subtraction. As we learn different strategies, including the most efficient ones, we need to understand that you can check your work with the inverse operation! If we are subtracting, we know we can check our work by adding to see if we get the correct total!
Math homelinks should not be taking extended amounts of time, or causing extensive frustration. Please contact me if this is happening. We are learning the skills daily in class, and we have discussed what the role "learner" means. It is our job to ask questions for understanding as our community should be a safe place to ask questions and make mistakes. Sometimes learning is a healthy struggle; not everything comes easy! Learning this can be hard and frustrating, but that helps us become stronger!
