Agenda for the Week
Reading/Writing: We are transitioning back to informational writing and linking our science, reading, and writing together to complete reports about ocean animals. We will be learning about sharks, fish, dolphins, crabs, sea horses, and sea turtles. We will read articles about the animals and write reports about them as well as complete many crafts. We will use our crafts to turn our classroom into an ocean!
Math: We took our -2 math quiz today. Thank you to all of you who are working at home on the flashcards and helping the children to be successful on these quizzes. All of the children are doing really well with this material and will be ready for test taking in First grade.Today, I sent home the -3 flashcards for practice. We will take the -3 quiz on Friday, April 21st.
Science: We are beginning to learn about how to take care of the earth. We are talking about earth day and ways we can help the earth by recyling, reusing, and reducing.
Social Studies: We are still learning about maps. We completed a few activities about maps and learned about compasses. The children are really enjoying learning about maps and talking about countries around the world. We will continue talking about “my earth” for the rest of the year.
Housekeeping Items:
Children need a snack each day! Please do not send candy as a snack. The children need a healthy snack each day such as fruit, crackers, cheese, yogurt, granola bars, etc. As a reminder, no juice is allowed in class for snack.
