Week of March 26

Hello Families,
I hope you are enjoying this sunshine as much as I am. It was great to meet with some of you for conferences on Thursday and I am looking forward to a successful last cardmarking with my class. Here are our plans for this short week.

Spelling
Words
1. five
2. drive
3. mice
4. dime
5. time
6. slice
7. been
8. work
9. of
10. cold

ELA: We are still reading nonfiction books. This week we are focusing on identifying the author’s main point (main idea about the text). For instance, if we read an article called “Amazing Ants,” and the author provides many reasons that he thinks ants are “amazing,” students should be able to say that the main point is “Ants are amazing insects.” They should then be able to use evidence and examples in the text that support this statement. We will do this with several books and articles this week and for the remainder of the year. Additionally, we are still learning to use text features to look for information in a nonfiction text (table of contents, glossary, bold words, captions, photos, labels, diagrams etc. )

Math: We will be working with two digit numbers this week. Students will learn how to add a one digit number to a two digit number and how to add and subtract ten to a two digit number. The number grid is an excellent tool for this because there are patterns that help with adding and subtracting ten. Please have your child view the videos that I post, as they are very helpful for reinforcing our learning in class.

Social Studies: We are learning about relative location and using position words. For example, using the words above, below, to the left, under, beside, between, around can be helpful when describing a location. Additionally, we will learn about ways that humans alter the physical environment by cutting trees down, adding roads, constructing buildings, etc.
Science: We planted our grass and alfalfa seeds last week. We are learning about the needs of plants and plant parts. Our focus question for our investigation is “What will happen to seeds if we plant them in moist soil?”

Friday: No School

Behavior: Unfortunately, I have had to talk with SEVERAL students about behavior recently. I have high expectations about students being respectful and kind to each other and to me at all times. It is my responsibility to provide a safe, happy, and productive learning environment for your child and I am committed to doing so each and every day. I absolutely will not accept students displaying unkind, disrespectful, or negative behavior. I love all of my students and I take their well-being very seriously. Please talk with your child about following directions, listening to all of their teachers, and being kind to one another. I will continue to review expectations and incorporate lessons about positive behavior into our day. Thank you for your continued support.

Have a beautiful weekend!

Week of March 18

Hello Families!
I hope you are enjoying the sunshine as much as I am!

1. make
2. take
3. name
4. game
5. page
6. race
7. their
8. sleep
9. wash
10. before

English Language Arts: We are taking a break from fiction stories and are revisiting nonfiction (informational text). This week, we will look at texts to see how pieces of information are connected. For example, roots and leaves are connected because they are both parts of a plant. Bees and flowers are connected because bees drink nectar from a flower in order to make honey. They will also use the table of contents to locate information and record key details in a text. We will choose a topic to write about this week for informational writing. They will use nonfiction books to look for and record information on a thinking map. They will then write a topic sentence, provide three facts about their topic, and end with a closing sentence.

Math: We are continuing to explore 2 D and 3 D shapes. Students are learning to look at the attributes such as the number of sides, edges, corners, and angles to distinguish between shapes. They should be able to do the following after this unit in geometry:
1. Distinguish between shapes that are not polygons and shapes that are polygons
2. Identify quadrilaterals (closed, four-sided shapes)
3. Identify: circles, squares, ovals, rectangles, triangles, rhombuses, trapezoids, and hexagons (these are 2 D or plane shapes).
4. Identify solid shapes (3 D) and be able to count their edges, vertices, and faces: Cube, rectangular prism, pyramid, sphere, cylinder, cone, triangular prism.
5. Sort 2 D and 3 D shapes

Science: We are reviewing sound and light before beginning our next unit, Life Science. I will attempt to attach a flip chart that reviews these concepts.

Social Studies: We are continuing to study absolute location (locations with an address) and human and physical characteristics.

Have a great weekend!
