Curriculum News & Information
For our first week back, we continued taking a look at another book in the Mercy Watson Series, which is a fun character to use to study a variety of reading skills such as point of view and main idea. This next week we will be looking at a number of books written by the children’s author Jacqueline Woodson. We will also be doing some vocabulary work with some of the words from these stories during our Reading & Writing time.
During Math we will be doing a little more practice with 3 digit subtraction, as this is always a challenge to remember but is a skill that will be necessary to have mastered before moving on and throughout their daily lives. We will continue to explore the seasons in science as they tie in nicely to our study of our solar system. In Social Studies we will continue to hone our map skills as we take a closer look at a variety of maps!
Students are starting to get a bad case of “Spring Fever” right now….which I do understand. While this is quite common this time of year, we still need to remember that we have about 5 weeks of school left and there is still so much to learn before moving on to third grade!
