It was wonderful to meet with all of you last week at Parent
Teacher Conferences! Thank you for taking the time to discuss your child's
progress. We are looking forward to a more consistent week of school this week.
Here's a look at what we will be doing.
In reading, we will be finishing up our work with Twin
Texts. The children have done a wonderful job of recognizing the difference between
fiction and non-fiction texts. We will spend some time this week doing a
T-Chart comparing and contrasting the two texts.
Our writing time will be spent working on poetry. The kids
were excited to get started last week and have already come up with some
creative ideas for poems. This week we will spend some time writing our own
versions of already published poems.
We are still on the continent of South America and we are
eager to visit the beautiful country of Brazil! The kids will learn more about
the Amazon Rainforest and the Carnival celebration. The kids will have the
opportunity to write a post-card home to their families about their experience
in Brazil.
In math this week we will continue working on strategies to
combine three or more addends. The students will also have some time to explore
measuring with various tools. The children will explore U.S. customary length
units and measure to the nearest yard. They will also learn about the metric
system and will measure with meters.
On Wednesday, we have a special school-wide enrichment
program called Chinese Acrobats. I know the kids will enjoy it and will most
likely come home with lots of stories to tell!
* Reminder that Thursday, March 17th is an Early Release for
Professional Development.
