Reading
We are reading Animal Babies in the Grassland this week. Students will continue to learn how to read non-fiction text and be introduced to new vocabulary.
Writing
Writers' workshop will continue as students continue to become better authors by learning to add detail using adjectives and how to make their illustrations more interesting.
Math
We will do some review games this week with the couple days of math we have. Students will take the end of the year math assessment on the computer Tuesday morning.
Science
Habitats and animals! The kids are really getting into this.
Social Studies
Still working on social and emotional skills with the Second Step curriculum and some fun read alouds.
We have our field trip to the zoo on Friday. More details to come mid-week!

Reading
We are reading Hide Clyde this week. It is a rhyming book about a chameleon. We will be going over plot and retelling a story. We will also read a non-fiction book about chameleons.
Writing
In writers workshop this week I will be using Mo Willems books to give students ideas for when they are making their own books. My teaching points will be focused on getting students to be creative with their words, illustrations, and covers when they publish their own book. The end goal is for their voice to come out in their writing.
Math
Comparing sets. Using subtraction to find the difference. Subtraction facts to AT LEAST 5.
Science
Chameleons. Camouflage. Jungle habitat.
Social Studies
Manners.

Reading
We are reading Marcel and Farfallina this week. This book is about a goose and butterfly that are friends and both go through changes but remain friends in the end. We will focus on the problem/resolution and also the changes that animals go through.
We will also be reading Diary of a Worm. We have two worm compost bins in our room so the students are interested in worms.
Writing
Students will continue making books during writers' workshop. Most students should be finishing their first book this week and bringing it home. Students are receiving specific instruction to work on writing skills they need to develop during writers' workshop.
Students will be making their own "diary of a worm" during literacy centers.
Math
We will be wrapping up sorting and classifying on Monday. Students should be able to sort random items by one or two attributes. The rest of the week we will be doing addition and subtraction word problems. By Friday students should be able to answer, solve and write math problems up to 10.
Science
We will be discussing animal changes, continuing our plant observations, and continuing to learn about the environment.
