We are working on the characteristics of a non-fiction and a fiction book. We are continuing to working on parts of non-fiction books-table of contents, headings, captions, and labels.Continue to work on characters, setting, main idea, problems, and solutions. Continue to work on writing detailed sentences and stories. One of the ways to describe it to the children is to use their hand. The main idea goes in the palm and each finger is a supporting detail for the main idea.

We will continue to work on compound words and will begin working on making contractions using the word not=didn't, don't, can't wouldn't as some examples.
We are adding exclamation marks to our sentences this week in language.
In writing we are working on adding more details in our stories.

Review focus for the week: patterns
*model and create addition and subtraction problem situtations with concrete objects and write corresponding number sentences
*use concrete and pictorial models to apply basic addition and subtraction facts
*estimate and measure weight of objects using nonstandard units
*describe and identify two and three dimensional geometric figures in order to sort them according to a given attribute using informal and formal language
*describe and identify two dimensional geometric figures, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares
*describe and identify three dimensional geometric figures, including spheres, rectangular prisms (including cube), cyclinders, and cones
*use concrete models to combine two dimensional geometric figures to make new geometric figures
