Classroom Update

Everyday Math

We have launched EDM Unit 7 - Geometry and Attributes. During Unit 7 the Scholars will investigate attributes and properties of two and three dimensional shapes. In addition, they will learn all about symmetric shapes and designs, and expand their EDM vocabulary.

Scholars discussing the attributes of various shapes.

Reading and Writing Workshop

We have started our All About Unit!

Unit 4 focuses on informational texts. The Scholars will learn all about the features/attributes of nonfiction texts such as: the table of contents, glossary, sections and headers, diagrams, labels, and bold print. They will learn how to use these features to locate and gather information to help build their reading comprehension skills.

The Scholars are busy working on their “All About My Family” books. I am having so much fun eavesdropping on their conversations as they share stories about their families. It warms my heart!

The Scholars will also publish an “All about an Animal” book. This will provide them with an opportunity to practice using what they have learned about nonfiction tools to help them research information. The Scholars will incorporate nonfiction text features into their own books.

We will have a publishing party – date to be announced.
