Mr. Wucherer’s Classroom News (April 15th-19th) 

A Peek At The Week:   Essential Question:  How can you help out at home?  New vocabulary words are; chores, contribute, member, accomplish and organize.  During writer’s workshop we will be making stories on a specific topic and beginning to have more free choice on what we want to write about!  The kids love this time to create books of their choice!!  We will review adjectives and long (a) and short (a) words.  Students will work on asking and answering questions to make better connections to the texts they are reading.  We will continue to watch and discuss our chicken eggs in the incubator.  Math will find the students working hard at symmetry, addition, what’s my rule chart, missing addend, telling time, 3-D shapes (counting edges, corners and faces), story problems and filling in the missing numbers on the 100+ grid.   

Looking Ahead:    Essential question:  What do good citizens do?  New vocabulary words:  citizen, respect, tidy, necessary and hauled.  Students will continue to learn about adjectives.  We will use the strategy of rereading to find the answers to comprehension questions that we couldn’t remember.  We will work on blending words with the long I and short I sound.  Lastly, we will change sounds in words to form new words.   We also will make a Venn Diagram to compare cats vs children.  Math will find us busy working on subtraction, probability, story problems, measuring, weighing objects in a pan balance, number recognition, writing our numbers correctly and fun Math games!!
