LANGUAGE ARTS: This week we read and discussed Meet Me Halfway and Big Red Lollipop. Meet Me Halfway is an informational text while Big Red Lollipop is a realistic fiction selection. We worked on skills such as decoding words with final consonant blends, decoding words with the prefixes "un" and "re" as in unable and rewrite, using context clues to determine meanings of unfamiliar words, capitalizing names for special people, animals, places, and things, and learning ten new high-frequency words.
MATH: We took the chapter test over adding within 100 using strategies. Soon we will begin a new chapter over fluently adding within 100.
SCIENCE: We started a new unit over matter. We discussed properties of matter such as color, shape, hardness, texture, and flexibility. We also explored the three states of matter--solids, liquids, and gases.
