I watched the weather today and I heard it is going to be in the 60's by the end of the week! That is going to be wonderful!! A few extra minutes at recess time will definitely be called for...
The children have been working really hard practicing for our concert this Thursday night. I'm sure you've all heard the songs we will be singing by now....especially Sweet Caroline. They sound great - I can't wait to see them on Thursday!
Things we will be working on this week:
In ELA, our phonics focus is going to be ow and oa words. We will be reading two stories in our anthology this week, Snow Surprise and The Snowflake Man. Snow Surprise falls in the genre of Realistic Fiction while The Snowflake Man is Non-Fiction. We will be using a Venn Diagram to compare and contrast the two stories. Our comprehension focus this week is Author's Purpose/Point of View. Our Grammar focus is homophones - a difficult concept for the students.
In Math, we will review adding three numbers. We have learned three strategies to help us add three numbers together easily - making 10, doubles facts and doubles plus one. If I know these facts really well, it will help me figure out my sum when I add three numbers. We will also go over adding 10 and beginning to discuss related facts with sums greater than 10.
In Science, we will continue with out Weather theme and talk about Measuring Temperature. We will talk about thermometers and discuss Celsius and Fahrenheit scales.
As a reminder, Wednesday and Thursday are early release days. Dismissal will be at 12:30. Lunch will be served.
Thursday evening is our Hoover Winter Concert.
Have a wonderful week!!
