Hello Families,
I hope everyone had a restful break and are now back into the routine of school. Here is a look at the week ahead:
Language Arts: We are working on topic sentences and staying focused with details throughout an informational paragraph. Students are working on an animal paragraph and will be choosing their own topic for another piece later this week. We are looking at consonant blends str, thr, spr. Our focus skill this week is reading diagrams as we read "From Seed to Plant" a non-fiction piece. In Grammar we will be looking at more proper nouns - the months of the year.
Math: We are continuing our look at geometry - specifically parallel lines, and also 3D objects. During the week the students will be encouraged to bring in objects that clearly represent the 3D shapes - cylinders, cubes, prisms. The test for Unit 5 will be next week. Please continue to practice the rocket math math facts that your child is on. THANKS!
Science: We will continue looking at Living Things in their Environments with a look at lesson 2 that will extend into next week. Instead of the Science book coming home on Tuesday, look for it on Thursday. (Lesson 2 has a lot of info in it!)As a supplement to this chapter, we are working on a Penguin booklet. The students will be creating a pocket - booklet with details about different types of penguins.
Social Studies: We will look at jobs people do in our community continuing the theme of "People at Work".
Have a wonderful week,
Mrs. Scull
