This is what we are learning in Oct.
Math: In room 22 we are well into our new Math program Go-Math.
We are exploring Place Value to 1000. Students are learning to compose
and decompose numbers. For example, the number 347 can also be described
as 300+40+7 or 3 hundreds 4 tens and 7 ones. Children should be
practicing their addition and subtraction facts for instant recall at
home each night.
Reading:
We are diving into the "rituals and routines" of Readers Workshop. The
children are becoming experts on the actions of good readers such as
making predictions and activating their schema. We will be working in
small groups to develop reading strategies to help us become better
readers. Reading fluency and comprehension will be the focus. Children
are also reading books on their independent levels and learning a
variety of ways to respond to text.
Science:
We will be learning about outer space. We will cover themes such as
shadows, day/night, the Sun, the Moon, stars and constellations.
Social
Studies: We will be learning about families, ancestors,traditions and
the election process as well as map and globe skills.
