Hello! We had a great first full week of learning! I'm looking forward to another great week!
Here is what's happening this week:
Writing: The students will begin developing their realistic fiction stories! We will focus on developing our characters and building scenes for our stories.
Reading: The students are doing a great job reading independently! This week they will be focusing on synthesizing their text, making predictions and understanding the characters in their books. After your child reads at home, ask them to retell the important parts. This will help ensure they are thinking about the text as they read it.
Science: We will begin our first science chapter this week! Our first chapter teaches about ecosystems. They will learn what an ecosystem is, how animals have different adaptations, and how food chains work! We will be attending a science related field trip September 9. We will be going to the Shaw Nature Reserve where they will get to see and interact with pond and prairie ecosystems! The permission slip will come home today!
Math: Our first math chapter reviews the place value. We will have a test this Friday. A study guide will come home early this week.
Important Dates:
8.29 - Leap Begins
9.2 - Bus Driver's Day
9.9 - Field Trip to Shaw Nature Reserve
