We’ve had a great week in here!  We ended the week with some math games, using dice and playing with a partner.  Fun!

Next week…

READING-We will work with rhyming.  Since we missed Dr. Suess’ birthday on March 2 due to a snow day, we will use some of Dr. Suess’ books to enjoy rhyming.

WRITING- OPINION writing   We’ll begin with making a list of “Spring Activities.”

On Tuesday, together we will write about why we like spring (our opinion).  We will use our list from Monday to support our writing, using details from Monday’s list.

On Wednesday, students will write about why they like spring and offer 2 or 3 details.

On Thursday, I will conference with each student about their writing.  We will revise and edit the writing.

On Friday, students will publish their writing.

The above writing schedule has been my weekly writing schedule all year long_

Monday-introduce lesson/idea/theme “I” write

Tuesday-“We” write

Wednesday-“You” write

Thursday-Revise and Edit Writing

Friday-Publish

MATH-More than, less than   An awareness of the NUMBER LINE is so necessary.  Practice with page numbers in a book.  Have your child open up to a give page number.  (61)  If they open up to 42, see if they know that 62 is greater than 42 and, therefore, need to go farther ahead in the book.  Likewise, if they open up to page 67 and you want then to find page 25, do they know which way to go in the book to find page 25?  GREATER THAN, LESS THAN concepts

SCIENCE-Weather

Enjoy your weekend.

Another lesson from Dr. Suess…

“Why fit in when YOU were born to stand out?”
