Math

We will finish Unit 7 this week, it is a quick unit meant to help lay a foundation for 3rd grade concepts. We will then start Unit 6 at the end of the week. Which will focus on place value up to 1000 and starting to add and subtract with 3 digit numbers.

Reading

We will finish our Nonfiction Unit in reading this week. Students have been in topic groups, picking a different topic each week.  Students are using their nonfiction reading strategies to read books around the topic their group has chosen.  At the end of each workshop topic clubs get together to talk and grow ideas together.  Students have great discussions!

Writing

In writing we will also wrap up our nonfiction unit.  Students have learned a lot about teaching their audience through elaboration.  Students have taken many risks to write nonfiction books that are written in different structures such as: narrative nonfiction, comic nonfiction, how-to’s, and more!!
