SCIENCE- <\/strong>Science is the study of Matter right now.  We use adjectives or Properties to describe\nmatter.  Matter is everything.  A desk, water, air etc\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Book Bags \u2013 The books are being\ninventoried in the book room for the school. \nWe may not have books in book bags for a while, unless I get another\nsource.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

PLANNERS<\/strong>– Please\nsend these every day because we use them. The spelling words will be written in\nthem, also. There is a charge, if a planner is lost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SPELLING WORDS FOR NEXT WEEK ARE Consonant Blends.  Please continue to point out the pattern of\nthe spelling words each week and help your child discover words with these patterns\nin their reading.  Soon, your child will\nbe pointing these out to you, if they do not already.  A good idea is to get a blank notebook and\nkeep a list.  Send them in for extra\ncredit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The words will be: ant, best, blame, brick, crack, drag,\nglad, lost, milk, plan, snack, split, strap, trunk, twice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Social Studies<\/strong>–\nPlease continue to point out\nthings that you see as you walk\/ride through our COMMUNITY of Dearborn.  We are studying about community.  There are natural characteristics (tree,\nriver, grass) and human characteristics (bridge, road, store) of our community\nto be seen.  Please discuss these as you\nsee them at home.   Can your child name\nthe 5 characteristics of a community? Transportation, Buildings, Natural\nCharacteristics, Places to have Fun and Businesses.  What does each of these categories mean to\nyour child?    <\/p>\n\n\n\n

     We discussed 3 types of communities:  Rural\/Country\/, Suburban, Urban\/City.  We live in a suburban community.  This language can be confusing.  Thank-you for discussing things at home, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Please discuss the concepts of transportation<\/strong> as well as, the\ncomparison of natural\/physical things<\/strong>\nin a community compared to manmade\nthings<\/strong> in a community. \nThere will be a computer test on this, next week.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

     Please sign and return the Christopher\nColumbus report after your child has presented it to you, if you have not done\nso<\/strong>.  This is a way for the\nstudents to talk to you about what we do in school.  We read and discussed about Columbus\u2019 trip\nacross the Atlantic Ocean to land that he thought was the Indies.  We talked about the positive and negative\nreasons to go on Columbus\u2019 trip with him. \nWe made a pictograph with ships that said our opinion. There were more\nno ships than yes ships.   Each student chose if they would or would not\ngo with Columbus and at least 2 reasons to back up that opinion (choice) on\nthat ship and then used that to write an opinion paper.   The final copy of your child\u2019s opinion essay\nis on their locker and the rough draft is in the blue report that your child\nshould share with you.  Thank-you for\nasking your child questions about their choice.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
