Spring is in the air and students are excited about the warm weather. Students are growing at a rapid rate and we will continue to review safety rules and guidelines for the classroom and playground.
The Book Swap on Wednesday was a success. Students had fun turning in their books and swapping them for another book. Thank you for participating.
On Monday, we will begin our unit on the "ocean". This is our last unit for the year. The unit involves learning about ocean animals, habitats, and what animals and plants need to survive. We will compare ocean habitats (seashore, tide pool, deep sea etc.) as well as write an ocean animal report. The cool projects will be displayed on 5/16 at Open House. Please mark your calendars for this special evening with your child. We will transform our classroom into an OCEAN habitat. You're going to love it!
In Writer's Workshop, students will continue to edit their opinion writing. The students will think about how to make their writing better by getting feedback from their peers. Students will practice reading their story with a partner and giving feedback to their partner. At the end of the week, students will make a title page for their writing.
In Math, we will continue to focus on fact families and decomposing numbers to 10. Students are still confused when they see 5=3+2 (decomposing) versus 3+2=5 (composing). Please practice decomposing at home using different strategies such as number bonds, drawings, objects etc.
This Thursday, we will learn about landscapes and students will make a cool art project for their "art portfolio".
Mark your calendars:
