In Reading, we are discussing informational books on bats, continuing to hone reading skills/strategies in the areas of: making predictions, determining story elements, problem & solution, making connections (text, self, & world), and visualization.

We continued to work on our informational writing. Students completed their owl books and are working on their informational books on bats.

In Math, students are working on understanding different ways in which quantities and equations can be expressed on either side of the equal sign, analyzing whether the number sentences are equivalent, and providing a written explanation of what more/less is needed to make a false equation true. They are working out problems, going from one whole and two parts (sum = addend + addend) and learning about how to identify the missing part when they know one addend and the sum. Students will be working on subtraction sentences.
