Science- We are wrapping up our unit on scientific investigations with our paper towel investigation and our paper airplane investigation! Our test will be next week!
Writing- This week we are completing our 1st personal narrative and celebrating them on Wednesday. After we celebrate our writing in school, students will bring their piece home to celebrate with you! Students will bring home their leader binder which includes a tab for their writing portfolio. Inside their writing portfolio will be their piece and a checklist to fill out and get signed by you. Please help them celebrate their accomplishments, but also look for & encourage setting new goals for their next piece that we will start on Thursday! These writers know that "when they are done, they've only just begun!" :)
Reading- Wow! We are doing some deep thinking and hard work in reading! We are learning that we need our brains on FULL POWER to really dig deep into our book club books and independent books. Reading can be SO MUCH MORE than just reading at the surface level if we put our mind to it.
Students are working hard on reading pages and pages of their book club books by following their reading assignments they created for class reading time and for reading at home. We are working on having meaningful, supportive, and thoughtful book club discussions- ask your student for different discussion sentence starters they are trying at school and encourage them at home as well!
Math- Place value tests will come home Tuesday (thank you for your patience as I was out sick on Friday)- we are SO proud of our mathematicians! We are starting our 2nd chapter on multiplying whole numbers as we are studying prime factorization, powers & exponents, multiplication patterns and problem solving using a table.
Social Studies- We will continue with our study of the first Americans!
***Don't Forget-
Early Release on Wednesday! Does your child know how he/she is getting home?
