Learning Update
RTI-We are reading Sign of the Beaver. This is a wonderful book about a young boy who meets a native american boy. Our ten vocabulary words come from this book. Our Reading Skill focus this week is Noting Details.
I started a new read-aloud book entitled: Al Capone Does My Shirts. This book deals with autism, Alcatraz, and a young boy named "Moose" who lives on the prison island.
Math-We will be learning how to subtract mixed numbers this week. No test! As we are moving more towards Common Core, there will be less testing, slower pacing and deeper instruction. Hooray! No CST Testing this year, except for Science.
History-We are learning about the colonies and beginning a long term, in-class colony project.
