Can you believe it's already December 7?! I sure can't! We've been super busy in Room 21 so read on to find out what we've been up to!
Reading - We've been focusing our learning on nonfiction books. We know that nonfiction means REAL and TRUE so nonfiction books include information that teaches us about a topic. We've been getting super smart about nonfiction topics like animals, sports, and weather!
Writer's Workshop - Just like we've been READING nonfiction books, we've been WRITING nonfiction books! We have discovered we are all experts about different topics - dogs, Legos, and volcanoes just to name a few! We have learned lots of different ways to teach our reader about our various topics:
We've even started writing CHAPTER BOOKS since we have so much information to share! Ask your kiddo what their nonfiction chapter book is about and to name a few of their chapters.
Math - Just like we learned ADDITION strategies to help us solve addition, we've been learning SUBTRACTION strategies to help us solve subtraction. As we learn these strategies we are developing an understanding that addition and subtraction are related. If I know 2+2=4, then I know 4-2=2!
Don't forget this Wednesday, December 9 is an Early Release day! If your kiddos afternoon transportation will be different than normal, please send a note with them to school.
