We have been very busy in Room 2! This week we read Mossy by Jan Brett and did a little character analysis as well as discuss the main idea and details. When we make inferences about characters we always look for evidence in the text to back-up our ideas. Then the kids completed this adorable turtle project where they wrote out the main idea and details and the beginning, middle, and end of the story.
We also read Hey, Little Ant by Phillip and Hannah Hoose which led us into opinion writing. In the story, a boy has to decide if he is going to SQUISH an ant or not. Both the boy and the ant give reasons as to why or why not the ant should or shouldn't be squished. In the end, the authors let the reader decide if the ant should be squished.
In math, we started multiplication. We worked in pairs today and made equal groups of objects. We then wrote both repeated addition sentences and multiplication sentences.
