Wow! What a busy month January has been! I'm excited to have a "normal" 5 day week this week and to get back to our regular routine.
Reading EQ: How can I compare two versions of a similar text? In reading we are beginning our Folktales and Fairy tales unit. We will be learning the elements of a fairy tale/folktale and focusing on finding the central message or moral of the story. Writing EQ: How can I write to share my opinion? Our writing goal for this quarter is to state our opinion, provide reasons and examples to support our opinion, and provide a closure. We will be sharing our opinion about various topics including our opinions about books. Math EQ: How can I use addition and subtraction strategies? In math we will be using addition and subtraction strategies to solve equations using 2 and 3 digit numbers to 1,000. We will also focus on word problems and checking our work. Social Studies EQ: How can I describe Martin Luther King's character? In social studies we'll continue our Civil Rights unit and learn more about MLK and Jackie Robinson. We will identify why they are important and focus on specific character traits they exemplified.
