Math – We are starting unit 4 in math. We will be adding and subtracting numbers using different strategies such as breaking numbers apart, open number lines, and by using base 10 blocks. We will also continue to work with money by adding and subtracting different amounts. Please allow your child to practice naming coins, telling you their value, and counting coins.
Social Studies – We have started our How Do People Live Together in a Community unit. We will be discussing local government, why we need rules and laws, and the characteristics of a community. When you are out and about in the city of Dearborn with your child please point out businesses, government buildings, parks, etc.
Science – We are learning about the uses of water, water in its liquid and solid state, water conservation and the properties of water. We will be doing a variety of science explorations that involve water. Please allow your child to “play” in the sink with plastic measuring cups and spoons. They can try to measure different amounts accurately.
We have a late start on Wednesday, December 21. School begins at 9:40.
We will be decorating gingerbread houses on the 21st beginning at 1:15. I will send more information next week.
I received 14 out of 27 November reading logs. Please keep your child accountable for their daily reading by having them color the picture when they have read for 20 minutes.
