Happy New Year!

Welcome Back Everybody!

Literacy Unit:  ANIMALS- Theme: ANIMALS WE KNOW. What animal do you like best?  Why?  Would it make a good pet?  How does that animal move?

LETTERO  o

MATH-Review Calculators, count by 5’s, 10’s and 1’s to 100. Write numbers 0-50, add and subtract fluently within 5 and patterns.

SCIENCE-Comparing and Contrasting Animals

How they look    What they eat     How they move

Social Studies:  Timelines. We will create our own timelines. If you have not sent in a baby picture yet, please do so.

WRITING-Our district Writing Prompt will be in 3 weeks and the students will need to write an Opinion Piece.  To help prepare for this, I will be asking for their opinions on a multitude of topics.  They will then write a few of their opinions in sentences.  You can help with this at home.  Ask them questions, like “What’s your favorite cereal?   WHY?”  WHY is the opinion part of their answer.  They need give a reason (opinion) for their favorite cereal choice.

P.S.  “because” is not a reason!
