Reading~ Writing~ Beginning of Unit 2
This week, we learned about many different text features. We read Baby Bears and worked on questioning and topic/details. We will continue reading nonfiction texts next week as we discuss life cycles and the growth and development of animals.
This week we studied 2-dimensional shapes. We worked to describe quadrilaterals and specifically, rectangles. We are learning about measuring area with squares and about describing the inside of a rectangle using the terms rows and columns. We will continue these investigations next week.
