Next week, we are learning...
In reading and writing, we will celebrate Penguin & Polar Bear week! We will be reading fiction and nonfiction texts about the animals. With the fiction texts, students will be responding to the story by completing a story map about the characters, setting, and major events in a text.
In writing, we will continue our unit of study about informational writing. Students will be asked to complete a shared research project with prompting and support about a polar animal
At this time, students need to be able to
*use a combination of drawing, dictating, and writing to tell about a topic. *Their organization needs to reflect planning and students need to be able to add details to strengthen their writing.
*Students need to be able to produce simple sentences, print legibly all upper and lower case letters, capitalize the first words in a sentence and the pronoun "I"
*Errors in writing should not interfere with the meaning and structure of the sentence.
We will be finishing our study of vowels (a,e,i,o,u) next week. Please review these sounds with your child at home. Students will be assessed over their understanding of vowel sounds by identifying the medial vowel sound in three letter words.
In math, we will continue to identify 3D shapes. Students will need to be to identify a sphere, cylinder, cube, and cone. Also, students will need to be able to use the term "faces" to describe the 2D shape they see when exploring a 3D shape. For example, "A cube has 6 faces. The faces are the shape of a square. "
In science, we will begin our study of rocks and soils. This short unit of study is the beginning of our study of living and non-living objects and will help students to understand the unit of study about plants later in the school year. Students will be looking at sand and soil with magnifying glasses and drawing pictures of what they notice.
