It was wonderful to meet with all of you last week at Parent Teacher Conferences! Thank you for taking the time to discuss your child's progress. We are looking forward to a more consistent week of school this week. Here's a look at what we will be doing.
In reading, we will be finishing up our work with Twin Texts. The children have done a wonderful job of recognizing the difference between fiction and non-fictional texts. We will spend some time this week doing a T-Chart comparing and contrasting the two texts.
Our writing time will be spent working on poetry. The kids were excited to get started last week and have already come up with some creative ideas for poems. This week we will spend some time writing our own versions of already published poems.
We are still on the continent of South America and we are eager to visit the beautiful country of Brazil! The kids will learn more about the Amazon Rainforest and the Carnival celebration. The kids will have the opportunity to write a post-card home to their families about their experience in Brazil.
In math this week we will continue working on strategies to combine three or more addends. The students will also have some time to explore measuring with various tools. The children will explore U.S. customary length units and measure to the nearest yard. They will also learn about the metric system and will measure with meters.
On Wednesday, we have a special school-wide enrichment program called Chinese Acrobats. I know the kids will enjoy it and will most likely come home with lots of stories to tell!
Also, the kids voted to have a Show and Tell for their class marble jar reward. Therefore, the students may bring in one item to share with the class on Wednesday. Please help your child select an item that you feel comfortable with them bringing to school.
* Reminder that Thursday, March 17th is an Early Release for Professional Development.
