It has been another busy week in the 2/3 community!
--2/3 teachers Reading – This week in reading we focused on how a character changes from the beginning to the end of a story. We studied Grace, the main character in the books Boundless Grace and Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman. Students made their own character webs about Grace. Vocabulary – This week we learned the words doubtful, nifty, ghastly, dazzle, quiver, and command from the book Julius, The Baby of the World by Kevin Henkes. Writing – This week in writing we are working to learn about and write our own personal narratives. Students heard several examples of personal narratives and are working on their own. Students are including sensory details to make their writing more interesting and vivid. Students have written about chores, exciting incidents from their lives, and first day of school stories. Math – This week in math students worked to bring in items for their class collection. Through our tracking our progress toward getting 1,000 items, students are practicing addition with 3-digit numbers as well as gaining a visual understanding of how many tens are in 3-digit numbers. We also worked to round numbers and to write them in expanded form. Finally, we started to use the "break apart" strategy to add 3-digit numbers. Next week - Reading – Next week we will continue to make inferences about characters in our reading. Writing – Next week we will continue to explore and practice writing personal narratives. Math – Next week we will continue to work on strategies for adding and ordering 3-digit numbers.
