During whole group literacy instruction we are learning about What Animals Need. We are reading a variety of non-fiction and fiction books about animals. The following are some of our vocabulary words we learning and writing about in class, burrow, hunt, travel, shelter, carry & gather. The comprehension strategy we are working on is asking questions. I've been teaching our class that, "good readers ask questions as they read to learn more about what they are reading."
We also are learning about pumpkins, students have learned and have written about the different parts of pumpkins and are participating in several activities connected to pumpkins. On Friday, during science students will learn about the life cycle of a pumpkin. Many of our read-alouds are about pumpkins and autumn.
In math, we are learning about 2D & 3D shapes and recognizing them in the environment. We are continuing to work with groups of five and counting as high as we can.
