Language Arts: This week we will read a story called The Surprise Family. It is a fun story about a chick who is very surprised to find out who his family is. This story will open up lots of opportunities for us to talk about the sequencing of a story and how the author uses tons of details in telling the story. Our strategy focus is questioning along with compare and contrast.
Science: We are continuing our habitat unit by exploring the rain forest. We will read many non fiction books about habitats and your child will use expository writing at the end of each week to write about what they learned about each habitat. We will enjoy a directed drawing lesson with the first graders in Room 7.
Math: We will review the concepts presented in Chapter 23 which focuses on sums to 30 and adding a 2-digit number and a 1-digit number. Please continue helping you child with telling time to the hour and half hour using those old fashioned wrist watches and round clocks.
Choir: We are enjoying our second session with our choir teachers and will let you know when we have a date for our upcoming upcoming performance.
Homework Logs: Please complete your child's homework log daily writing down the book read and signing each day that your child has been working on math skills. This Homework Log is due each FRIDAY. Many students are coming to school each Friday and Monday without his/her Homework Log so more help in this area is needed.
PE: Each Monday and Tuesday afternoon we have PE class so please make sure your child is wearing appropriate clothing and shoes to participate in all the activities
