The first week of April is off to a great start! We've started our new unit during Readers Workshop, Meeting Characters and Learning Lessons: A Study of Story Elements. This week we focused on making predictions as we read and identifying the setting (time and place) of a story. We talked about how the setting can change throughout the story and how readers need to keep track as they read. Students practiced these skills both in their independent reading and with their reading partners.
In math we continued to work with identifying shapes by their attributes and naming the shapes. Students learned two new work places where they build larger composite shapes using familiar pattern block shapes. We will be moving from 2-D shapes to 3-D shapes next. In science students are learning about sound waves and experimented creating vibrations and exploring how sound can change when the vibrations change.
