We are working on building our strategies for adding and subtracting 2-digit numbers with and without regrouping. We are also learning about how to measure using centimeters, inches and yards. Be sure to check out the addition/subraction regrouping links on the announcements page.
Reading In reading, we are learning lots about folktales. We've discovered the morals to fables, compared characters of fairy tales, and are moving towards summarizing and comparing plots of different versions of the same folktale. This is a super fun unit for us!
Writing
We are loving writing fiction. We worked hard to plan out the character, setting, problem and solution and are currently using those plans to create entertaining, engaging stories!
Science
In science, we are learning about the basic needs of animals and plants. We are also discovering why they have certain parts and how those parts help them survive. The plant study is getting us pumped for our field trip to the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center on March 2nd! Social Studies
We are being geographers in social studies these days. We've learned about and created maps. We are also learning about some inspirational black Americans who have impacted our country and even the world!
