Reading: Please continue to have your children read from their bags of books every night. This is so essential for reading success. We are learning about the characters, setting, and major events in a story. Additionally, we are learning how authors choose words and phrases that appeal to the five senses. When you are reading books together at home, ask your child to identify the characters, settings, beginning, middle, and end. Also, have your child look at the cover of a book and identify the author, title, setting, and illustrator.
Math: We are learning to compare two digit numbers and tell which is greater. We use the greater and less than symbol to identify the greater number. We are also learning to represent two digit numbers with tens and ones. I strongly encourage you to have your child watch the math and reading videos that I post daily. These very closely match what we are learning about in class and will help reinforce these concepts for your child.
Science: We continue to explore air and learn that about its properties through active investigations. So far, we have discovered the following:
1. Air is a gas.
2. Air takes up space.
3. Air is everywhere.
4. Air can be compressed.
5. Air can push back.
Social Studies: We are learning about rules and expectations. We are learning that people who make and enforce the rules have power with authority. We are analyzing whether rules/situations are fair and unfair and when it is okay to break a rule.
Please remember that our field trip to the zoo is on Thursday.
Have a great weekend!!
