Only one more week until school vacation but who's counting?? Even though March was a long month, I feel like the time is flying by. Before you know it, we'll be wrapping up our year!!
A look at the week ahead:
In ELA - Our phonics focus this week is long vowel o or o-e words such as smoke. The story we will be reading in our anthology is a non-fiction story called On Saturday. We will learn different ways people spend their Saturdays. What do you do on Saturdays? Our comprehension skill of the week is drawing conclusions and answering questions. Our grammar focus is using describing words that end is -er and -est. During writer's workshop this week we will write about what we like to do on Saturdays.
In Math - we will begin our unit on Money. We will be discussing pennies, nickles, and quarters and how many different ways you can come up with a specified amount using different coins. We have been talking about coins since the beginning of the school year during our Morning Math Calendar so I have a feeling the students are going to do really well.
In Science, we will be talking about wind. We will be looking at bubbles and kites and how the wind effects their movement. We also are expecting our shipment of mealworms this week - after April School Vacation we will beginning our unit on Insects!! Dr. Sidell bought each classroom a handheld digital microscope that we will be able to hook up to our Smart board. It will be perfect to look at the mealworms as they go through their life-cycle!!
Dates to remember:
Popcorn day - April 12th. If you would like your child to have popcorn on Thursday, please send in $1. Thank you!
Have a wonderful week and a fabulous vacation!!
