Reading Workshop: We will begin a unit on poetry. This week the focus will be an introcuctory week in which we notice what makes a poem a poem; the similarities between poetry and other types of writing; and how strong readers read a poem (rereading the same poem several times).
Writing Workshop: We will be starting our poetry unit. This is a great change from the nonfiction and story writing we have been doing the past few months. This week we will be writing list poems. Some of the types of list poems are: mystery, repeated line and first/last.
Phonics/Spelling: ed endings: wanted, hopped, framed, watched, played
Math: Unit 9 begins this week. We will be working ith 2D shapes and the concept of symmetry.
Science: We will be finishing up our Plant unit and will begin to start learning about butterflies! This Thursday morning we will be having an in-class visitor from the Bruce Museum who will bring some scientific tools and samples to help us get excited about this new unit.
