Hello All!
I hope everyone had a wonderful February vacation. We had a lot of germs around before vacation and I was glad to see we had everyone back in school.
Once we got the furniture back into place Monday morning, it was right back into the swing of things. We are learning all about -le words this week. Whistle, jungle, wrestle.....what other -le words can you come up with? We are also talking about possessive nouns and pronouns. We talked about when to add 's and that it shows ownership.
Our story in our anthology book this week is a non-fiction story called Can Elephants Paint? We know that non-fiction stories give us true information and that the pictures in the story are real photographs, not pictures drawn by an artist.
In math, we are going back to addition and subtraction strategies, but we are concentrating on sums to 12. We reviewed our doubles and doubles plus 1 facts. We will also learn strategies on how to add three numbers.
In science, we will begin our unit on weather. We discuss the weather every day as part of our morning meeting but we will introduce the children to some other words that have to do with weather. We will also do a March themed weather project.
A sneak peak to next week:
In ELA - ow and oa. We will read Snow Surprise. Comprehension - Author's purpose/point of view. Grammar - homophones
In Math - relating addition and subtraction. Fact families.
In Science - Measuring Temperature.
Next week there are two half days, March 7th and 8th. Dismissal will be at 12:30. If we haven't spoken recently and you have any current concerns about your child, please email me to set up a conference time.
Have a wonderful week!
