Mr. Beal's Class Mr. Beal's class has recently finished the first unit in reading and math. In reading we focused on story structure of literary text and writing a "story blurb". Now we are focusing on writing about "small moments" and the writing process during writers' workshop. The new unit in reading we will be focusing on informational text and how we can use text features to help us understand what we are reading. The first unit in math we learned about coin values and exchanges, 10 combinations, doubling numbers, and problem solving strategies. The next math unit will focus on shapes and geometry.
