Open House is tomorrow night at 6:30, I hope to see you there!
Again, we had a wonderful time on our field trip! I was really proud of our children. If you did not receive text updates on your phone during the day of our trip, then make sure and sign up for our class updates here.
Just a little bit about what is going on in class: Reading-We are learning about the types and features of non-fiction. We are also learning how t quickly find information and better understand information when we are reading non-fiction. Writing-We have packed our journals with ideas for writing Now, to go along with our reading non-fiction unit, we are writing "How To" books. We began by exploring "How To" books and noticing what other authors included in their "How To" books. We decided that these types of books could get boring so we read a mentor text book called How To Lay an Egg to help us with using our voices and some authors craft to make our books more exciting. We will be publishing our books soon. In Grammar we will be focusing on nouns and pronouns this week. Math- We are still in our first unit. This week we are focusing on the multiples of 100 and their factors. You will see examples of this in our homework this week. Don't forget the Math Student Handbook I sent home, it will help you help your child with any of these homework pages. Some of the kids are still not fluent with their multiplication facts 1-12. This is imperative to be successful with harder multiplication problems and division this year! There are some links below to help your child practice their facts. Content-We are finishing up our study of Space this week. We have learned about the differences of comets, meteors, meteorites, meteoroids, and asteroids today and we will finish the week learning about moon phases and stars with a culminating test this Friday. Your child should have a study guide with answers. Technology-We have been very busy in technology! The kids are using Spelling City practice their spelling words, blogs for, well...blogging...Razz kids to keep their reading skills sharp, TenMarks for working on math and we log our reading on Reading Rewards. We are using lots of other sites too. Ask your children to show you the sites they are working on, many of them have parent codes that you will see from your child's account. Here are some video tutorials that will help you use some of these sites. Remember to keep talking about online safety and have clear rules for your child using technology at home.
