Week 4

Dear Parents,

It was very nice to meet so many of you this week at parent night. We had a short but busy week, we finished it off with a visit to our new innovation station, the kids are very excited to explore the new activities.

Starting this week I will send a summary of what we will do the next week, this way you will be informed about it beforehand and can discuss it with your child. I will also post this on our class website. To see what we are learning for the entire month please view the "curriculum calendar" tab on the class website.

Next week...

Math: Students will compare numbers up to 20, read and write numbers up to 20 (expanded, standard, number word, etc), and review place value (ones/tens).

Science: Students will continue to observe, sort, and compare objects based on their properties.  Students will learn that materials that make up objects are different and this is why objects have different properties.  The week will end with a common assessment over Classifying Matter.

Reading:  Students will learn how to make text-to-self connections while they read. They will learn how to get meaning from text by using their prior knowledge to help them better understand what they read.

Writing: Students will work on the writing process. They will look at how to use word patterns to help in their spelling. They will also write words that they know and can spell. Finally, they will look at parts of a sentence and  focus revising and editing their pieces. 

Balanced Literacy: Students will learn about what it means to be a good citizen.  We will discuss some examples of good citizens from history.  These include: Benjamin Franklin, Francis Scott Key, and Eleanor Roosevelt.
