Happy Valentine’s Week! This week we will be celebrating friendship and working hard! Just a friendly reminder that tomorrow we will be celebrating Valentine’s Day in class. We will be doing our Valentine Exchange in the afternoon. In addition, listed below are some of the concepts we will be covering and big events this week!<\/p>\n
Reading-\u00a0<\/strong>Comparing different folktales, analyzing morals, and introducing concepts of dramas\u00a0 (plays)<\/p>\n Writing-\u00a0<\/strong>Developing a narrative story plot<\/p>\n Math-\u00a0<\/strong>Multiplication and Division using units up to 9. Studying various multiplication strategies<\/p>\n Social Studies-\u00a0<\/strong>The growth of Michigan and the growth of industry<\/p>\n Science-\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n The topic of this week\u2019s science mystery was dinosaurs: how do we know what they looked like on the outside, when all we have of them are fossil bones? Why are we always depicting them as scaly lizards? Your child is learning how we can infer what the outside of an animal looks like, by using clues about their skeleton. We are also exploring how the structure of an animal\u2019s teeth say something about what kind of food the animal preferred to eat (i.e. meat, plants, or both).<\/p>\n Dinosaurs are very exciting and so are likely to be a topic on your child\u2019s mind these next few weeks. You can continue to stoke this interest by choosing to watch an educational program on dinosaurs together, such as Walking with Dinosaurs (https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt1762399\/). If you have any toothed pets, such as a cat, dog, or even hamster, you can also invite your child to classify these living animals as herbivore, carnivore, or omnivore by observing their teeth.<\/p>\n Spelling-\u00a0<\/strong>none this week!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Happy Valentine’s Week!
