Last week, parent input forms for your child's 2016-2017 placement were sent home. Please take the time to fill out this form and return it by the end of this week. We greatly value your opinions on these forms.
Here is what the week ahead looks like:
Math-We will continue to explore geometry with a focus on area. We will also be focusing on fractions during number corner.
Biographies-Students continue to read biographies with their reading groups. They have also been writing an opinion piece about a person they have read about. In both reading and writing about biographies, students are focusing on character traits and accomplishments. We'll be working with our Flynn teaching artist on a biography about Marcel Marceau, a famous mime, this week.
Blog writing-Students have been writing about what they enjoy about spring on kidblog. Last week, we talked about how to make a valuable comment on someone's post (complement the writer in a specific way, make a connection, add new information, end with a question, proofread your comment). Your child can log into kidblog from our classroom page at home if you would like to see what they have been writing about. We'll continue to work on blogging later this week.
Word study-We'll continue to review "bossy r" this week. You may notice the list your child brings home has some of the same words as the previous two weeks as well as some new words. We also have some new as well as review trick words.
Science-We'll continue to study matter this week, looking at the properties of solids and liquids.
Jump Rope for Heart is this Wednesday from 2:45-4. Please let us know if your child is participating, and if so, please remember to send in their paperwork.
Also, a reminder that next week, April 18-22 is our spring break. Have a great week ahead and a great week off. As always, let us know if you have any questions.
