Grades are being entered for Report Cards as I type. Conferences are coming up on the 10th, 16th and 17th. Can you believe it? It seems like our babies were born yesterday. Here is what we are working on in our classroom.
Math – We are just beginning Unit 3 which focuses mainly on measurement. Your child will continue to get Homelinks almost every night. Please check to see that they are understanding the concepts being taught.
Daily 5 – We have spent a lot of time building stamina and independence for this program. If does not work effectively if everyone is not on task. We have spent many weeks going over rules and activities for Read to Self, Read to Someone, Listen to Reading, Work on Writing and Word Work. Our reading groups are formed and new chapter books are about to begin.
Science – We are finishing our unit on Forces and Motion. The next subject we will study is light.
Social Studies – MICHIGAN! We have been looking at landforms, bodies of water, vegetation, climate, and precipitation. This week we focused on our state symbols.
Writing – The students are learning how to write an Opinion paper.
Our classroom is in need of tissue and soap. I know you keep reading this, but with the colder temperatures upon us, we have a lot of little runny noses and hands that need to be washed.
Thank you for your support.
Mrs. Minier
