Week 27

Hello Parents!

We had a great week. Ms. Bowman came to visit for picture day, and the students were thrilled. She and Weston are doing well!

Reminders:
·         March 16-20 is Spring Break! There will be no after school activities on Friday March 13.
·         Please send your child’s library book on Tuesday so that he or she may check out a new book before the break.
·         Please send your child’s book bag with them to school every day.
·         We have been discussing personal hygiene as students in our class are beginning to get sick. Please encourage your child to wash their hands and make every effort to stay healthy.

English Language Arts and Reading:
·         We will begin learning about the consonant cluster –ng.
·         Students will begin learning about “All About Books.” This week, we will look at mentor texts and discuss the features of “All About Books.” As a class, we will generate a topic and create a possible table of contents.
·         We will also learn about expository text features, including: table of contents, index, glossary, photographs, captions, charts, graphs, etc.

Math:
·         We will continue learning about money as students explore the quarter and money exchanges.
·         Students will practice surveying and looking at results of yes/no surveys.
·         Students will begin learning about number stories that involve the comparison of numbers.
·         Lastly, we will review skip counting by creating a skip counting book that requires students to skip count by 2’s, 5’s, and 10’s to 100.

Science/Social Studies/IB:
·         We will continue learning about Texas and Texas state symbols.
·         We will complete our unit on climate and weather by doing a final experiment where students observe the movement of water through a carnation.
·         Students will complete a portfolio piece about different seasons (winter and a season of their choice).

I am looking forward to a great week! Please let me know if you need anything!
