Even though it is a short week due to Parent/Teacher Conferences, we still have a lot of learning planned. Here is what we are up to this week.
Math - Time is a main focus this week. Students will be learning the difference between AM and PM and should be able to give examples of activities they might be doing at certain times. Students will also be telling time to hour, half hour, and minute increments. Near the end of the week we will be talking about picture graphs.
Literacy - We have finished our Folktale unit and are moving into a nonfiction focus. This week we will be reviewing nonfiction text features such as the glossary, index, captions, diagrams, etc. We will be using these features to help us when we start learning about different animal classifications.
Writing - Students should be finishing the letter/opinion pieces they are writing about a favorite book. Students have been working hard on adding evidence to their writing and editing.
Word Work - Students will be starting a new Wordly Wise Unit, and due to the short week, there will not be spelling words this week.
Science - Students will be starting a unit on animal classification. Students will be introduced to their new classroom "pets." These "pets" will be with us for the whole unit so we can observe them. Please ask your child what this "pet" is.
Reminders:
Thursday - 11:30 Dismissal & Parent/Teacher Conferences
