Here are the events and reminders for this week and next week:
Math: With Mrs. Brown, this week we will continue our unit on large digit addition. Students will be adding double digit and triple digit numbers and demonstrate their ability to regroup and carry. Students will also continue to do some project based learning, where they will continue to plan a birthday party or hiking trip, purchasing their supplies and add up their costs with the hopes of staying within their budget. With Mrs. Cannady: This week we continue to review polygons. Students will practice identifying, grouping, naming and drawing polygons. Student's attention will be drawn to the importance of using a pencil and ruler during this unit.
Writing: 1) We will continue our Fairy Tale unit. Students will be finishing their first drafts of their fractured fairy tale. Each student will be proofreading their work and completing a check, to make sure they have fulfilled the criteria. When completed, they will print their fairy tales and begin illustrations.
Reading: Last week students were encouraged to find a chapter book for silent reading. This week, each student will conference with Mrs. Brown about the book chosen. The book title will be recorded and students will be writing reading responses at the end of each silent reading block.
Science-Students will be meeting with their Kindergarten buddies, learning about the effect of temperature on particles and enjoying some hot chocolate. *Please send a mug for Friday.
