A Week in our Shoes: Oct. 29 - Nov. 2, 2018
Literacy: Inferencing!
We have been focusing on using clues and schema to make inferences about characters and how these characters may change! We have created character maps and added to our SeeSaw journals this week with our own independent inferences!
We learned about Lilly and her brother Julius and made inferences about her and how she changed.
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 2

Math: Unit 2
Unit 2 has focused heavily on solving number stories and knowing which operation to use in order to correctly solve! We discussed that a doctor could perform an amazing surgery, but if the patient didn't need that particular surgery, it doesn't solve the problem! :)
We also did an activity to help us slow down and be sure we investigate the problem before plugging numbers in.
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!
