Curriculum Update

Here's an update of some of the learning that has been happening in Room 215. Math-  During the past few weeks, the students have learned to add two 4-digit numbers to 10,000 with and without regrouping. They've  also practiced solving addition word problems. Writing- The students are composing a personal narrative. We started by discussing seed ideas. A seed idea focuses on a small moment of time. The class also completed a graphic organizer and mapped out their thoughts on sticky notes to help them plan their writing. The children are currently revising their original writing by including more details and their thoughts and feelings to help the reader feel as if they are right there. 

The students used sticky notes to help plan their narrative.

Reading-The class has been discussing character traits and how some characters change over time. Good readers think about the characters in a story to help them understand what they are reading. Science- We continue to observe our plants and learn  about each  part of the plant. The class recently discussed photosynthesis and this week we are going to learn about seed dispersal.

Last week our plants went through a big growth spurt!
