Mrs. Moore's Class Weekly Update
February 8-12, 2016
MATH
LITERACY
We also participated in Literature Circles where groups of children read the same book in small chunks over a two week period. After each chunk, students were each given a different role and had to conduct a literature circle(similar to a book club) where they would meet and discuss what they read and perform their specific role. They really enjoy talking about their reading!
SCIENCE/ SOCIAL STUDIES
In Science, we started our weather unit. We will start with exploring weather instruments. We will also be keeping a weather journal charting the weather daily and looking at weather patterns.
Please encourage your child to watch the weather on TV or look at it in the newspaper. It's great for them to have exposure to weather terms!
A Note From Mrs. Moore
- Please consider coming to talk to our class about your immigration experience. We currently only have one parent coming in and I know the kids would enjoy hearing your story!
- We are collecting cans of icing to make "birthday bags" for the local food bank. Please consider donating a can to make someone's birthday a little bit more special! Also, if you have any extra birthday gift bags at home that you would be willing to donate, the school can use them to assembly the "birthday bags."
- The character trait of the month is Caring. Talk with your child about what it means to truly show caring towards others.
- Fun Fact: Today is the 99th day of school!
