Classroom Happenings:
New year, new units!
In Reader's and Writer's Workshop, we're launching our study of Poetry. Throughout our reading unit, students will study poems and be able to describe how words or phrases give rhythm and meaning to a poem, story, or song. Students will work with vocabulary like alliteration, patterns, rhymes, repeated lines, line breaks, and more. In writing, students will be using what they learn about poetry to write their own poems and study different kinds of poems and their structures!
Students finished up some corrections with our Module 3 Math Assessment this week and will be posting their assessment on SeeSaw for your viewing. This brings us to Module 4 in Math where we will be working with decomposing and composing in addition and subtraction with numbers up to 200.
We've also started a new Science Unit which we're all really excited about! Throughout our science unit, we'll be studying how quick and slow changes affect land.
Reminders:
Our week started off with some exciting activities surrounding the Terry Fox Run as our class got to meet our Courage Buddies (grade 9 students)! You may have seen the Courage Buddy bracelet come home on the wrist of your child! The partnership with our Courage Buddies will continue throughout preparations for the Terry Fox Run which is on Thursday, January 24.
If you're looking for the 2AN Schedule, it's now posted on the Blog! Be sure to also check the actual blog website from time to time (taism4an.blogspot.com) as the Upcoming Dates Section at the top of the blog might come in handy to fill calendars out with dates a bit ahead of time!
Birthday treats! Let me know if you'd like to bring in birthday treats for the class! We have 17 students in the class that are always welcoming of treats. :) We will typically have birthday treats at 10:15am with our snack time. So, if you can drop them off in the morning before snack, we will enjoy them with snack. If not, let me know so I can plan for another arrangement. (Note: We do not have a peanut/treenut allergy in our classroom, but we do have a few students that are to avoid nuts and beans.)
