GROWTH MINDSET
This week in growth mindset, we are going to talk about the importance of showing persevere, and being persistent. Sometimes, when we are trying out something new, or taking a risk, things won't go our way. We might feel we have failed and for this reason, we are afraid to try again. Starting today and for the rest of our lives, we are going to be persistent, and don't let our failures prevent us from trying again and again. We will keep moving forward!

This week:
READING
Reading is thinking and as we read, we will learn how to think about the story or the information we are reading about. Readers make connections between the story and themselves. The story might remind them of something in their own life. We call this text to self connection. Sometimes we can make connection between one story and another story, meaning one story reminds us of another story that we previously read. This is called text to text connection. And sometimes we can make connections between text and the world or something that has happened in the world. We call this text to world connection. These comprehension strategies will help us to understand the text better.
WRITING
We will continue writing stories about our lives. Last week we learned how to "zoom in" on one thing and write about a small moment in time, something in our life that happened over a small few minutes. This week, we will practice stretching one small moment across several lines or several pages. We will read stories or part of stories that have those moments in them and see how famous authors stretch a small moment over few pages.

This week we will continue working on addition and count on strategies. We will use a number track and show what happens when we jump from a number one step, two steps, or zero step (count on zero). If we jump from 13, two steps further and land on 15, the matching number sentence will be 13+2=15. We will apply these strategies in problem solving. We will also look at the "turn around" and see that 13+2 is actually the same as 2+13. It might look different on the number track as far as where to start, but it lands on the same number.
SCIENCES
This week we will be continuing our discussion on physical changes to materials. We learned this past week, that adding heat and removing heat cause materials to change. We will be doing more experiments this week to observe those changes first hand!
