News to Know
- Summer is this week's snack helper. McCall will be next week's helper.
- As we are starting a new semester, it is a good time to replace any supplies that your child may need. I know that many of the children are out of crayons, markers, and scissors.
Language Arts
We will begin reading our new book on Tuesday. I am so excited about this book...it has an interesting plot and a great protagonist. I think the kids are really going to enjoy this one. We will have a vocabulary test on Friday. We will begin a unit on narrative writing and students will write a story about their life. We will study helping and linking verbs this week.
Math
We will begin one of my favorite topics this week: Topic 9 Patterns and Relationships. We will be looking at picture patterns and sequences, extending tables, and writing rules for situations. This topic is a chance for students to really extend their thinking and I have some fun activities planned. I encourage you and your child to look for patterns in your daily lives.
Science
We will continue our topic on weathering and erosion this week. We will create our own landforms and then subject them to erosion. We will also look for evidence of erosion around our school.
