Mrs. Peterson's Weekly Update

Last Weeks Learning

Last week in reading, we learned how to identify the main idea of nonfiction texts and to retell supporting key details. In math, we learned how to add within 20 by making a ten to find the sum. In writing we continued to write sentences and fix sentences. We also took our STAR reading and math beginning of the year assessment. STAR reports will come home on Tuesday.

This Week's Learning

In Reading- We will continue to learn how to identify the main idea and retell supporting key details of nonfiction texts.

In writing - We will learn what punctuation is beyond a period. We will also learn how to expand our sentences.

In math- We are taking our unit one assessment on Tuesday (addition and subtractions within 20) and will begin unit two on Wednesday. We will learn how to rearrange and add three or more addends to find the sum. (For example adding the first two addends 4+5+2=11 so 9+2=11, or make a ten fact: 3+4+7= ?, well I know 3+7=10 then add 4 more equals 14, or adding the doubles 4+7+4= ? 4+4 =8 then add 8+7=15)

In Science- Students will continue learning about properties, and how to use their 5 senses to sort. This week, we will learn about sink vs float.

In Social Studies- Students will learn about American Symbols of the United States and what they represent. We will learn what a symbol is, about the American flag, and bald eagle.
