I hope everyone had a chance to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend. We have a busy schedule full of learning this week. See below for details.
Science: This week we'll learn about the physical properties of matter and how scientists measure, record, and test properties. We'll explore temperature, texture, ability to sink/float, relative mass, and magnetism through various investigations. Reading: We'll continue to learn strategies good readers use before, during, and after reading. Our focus will be on asking questions, visualizing, and making connections. Math: The kiddos have been collecting data, creating data displays, and analyzing data on pictographs, bar graphs, and dot plots for the past two weeks. We'll wrap up this unit in the next few days before beginning our next unit on place value, addition, and subtraction. Students will take a test on data analysis on Wednesday which we will review for in class. Writing: Our focus this week will be on generating ideas for personal narratives and writing about small moments, (personal narratives). Students will create a heart map that will serve as inspiration for personal narrative topics. Right now, our goal is to build stamina while writing about stories from our lives. This really helps the kiddos view themselves as writers. Upcoming Events Wednesday is library day! Please help your child to remember to bring back their books so they can check out new books! Monday, September 11: PTA meeting @ 6:00
