Today begins the start of 2nd quarter. We will be investigating place value using tens and ones blocks. We will be creating and identifying 2 digit numbers a variety of ways. In reading, we will begin an in depth focus on the story elements--characters, setting, problem, solution. We will be able to describe in detail these elements for the fiction stories we read. In writing, we are beginning our unit on opinion writing. We will begin by focusing on fact vs. opinion, then the elements of an opinion writing--intro/statement of opinion, facts to support opinion, closure. In social studies we will investigate traditions of other cultures, such as losing a tooth, and compare it with the traditions in our family.
