We're on Unit 2: Addition + Subtraction. We're reviewing subtraction next week and will be taking our Subtraction assessment the last week of school before winter break.
READING
We are working on comparing and contrasting two texts. We'll be using quite a few media sources to do this (books, videos, articles, etc.) so we won't have a specific mentor text. A great way to practice this skill is by reading different versions of the same folktale or fairytale and having your connect similarities and differences! We're working on this skill through the month of December with both Fiction and Nonfiction.
WRITING
We've been hard at work on our informational texts, and students are writing their first informational pieces on a holiday of their choice. We're wrapping up editing and ready to hit PUBLISHING next week!
