Math We are have begun establishing our daily math rouGnes which involve our calendar and number of the day. Students have been learning about pa]erns and are focusing on idenGfying the pa]ern core. We will learn to reproduce pa]erns, extend pa]erns, create our own pa]erns and describe pa]erns. We will look at growing and shrinking pa]erns too!
Spelling/Word Sorts
Daily 5/Writing
Science/Social
I am currently assessing both spelling levels and le]er/word knowledge in order to place students in accurate groupings for both our word sorts (Words their Way) and our weekly spelling program.
Science-‐ MAGNETS: Students will explore our classroom and outside using a variety of magnets. They will complete many science experiments and share their ideas with classmates. Social-‐ Students will learn about Flat Stanley and then create their own Flat person to be sent to friends or family in Canada and then returned to our class. Le]er to come home this week!
Cooperative Learning & Health
This week we will begin our Daily 5 instrucGon (read to self, working on wriGng, reading to someone, word work/spelling and listening to reading). Students will be working on developing their stamina while reading independently (read to self). We will talk about the 3 ways to read a book and learn how to pick “best fit” books using the IPICK strategy. As the children progress each day we will increase our independent reading Gme and when we have reached 8-‐10 minutes successfully I will be introducing working on wriGng.

We have been working on geTng to know our classmates and becoming comfortable in our table groups. The students will be compleGng a reading, wriGng and “How I learn best” surveys. We begin our Mindfulness sessions with the HUG program this week which will help us focus and learn calming strategies to be used in our classroom
