Math:
Our focus in math is learning how to read number words, knowing what is 1 more or 1 less than a number, comparing two groups using the words the same as, more than, fewer than, greater than, and less than. Our end of the year counting goal is counting by 1's to 120. Right now we are really focusing on numbers 1-20. We are also focusing on adding numbers within 10.
Reading:
Our end of the year reading goal is level J! To get to this goal, we will learn more about reading words and understanding what we read. Right now when we read books we always "check for understanding". Using the strategies "making connections" and "making predictions" help us better understand what a book is about.
Writing:
Students are writing narratives. This means they write about something that happened in their lives. Right now they write that what they did was "cool" or "fun". We are working on telling what happened using details and interesting words instead. We will be working on writing our opinions later this month.
