We are finishing up our Kevin Henkes unit this week and beginning poetry. Students have had a fantastic time getting to know some of the characters from his book. During our poetry unit students will be learning about the different styles and types of poetry, and they will be making poetry of their own! Mark you calendars for February 13th. Students will be presenting a favorite poem in the afternoon for their F.I.F. at our Valentines and Verses celebration.
In math, students finished up Topic 8 and started Topic 9 on comparing numbers to 100. This week in Topic 9 students will be using number charts to add and subtract 2-digit numbers, comparing 2-digit numbers using greater than, less than, and equal to, and we will begin our study of money. Over the next few weeks we will be introducing money. This week we are looking at the penny and making a small take home book.
