Miss Ostwalt's Class Newsletter
January 2016
We are half-way through!
What have we been learning recently?
Science- We have been learning all about matter. Your student should now be an expert on solids, liquids, and gases! Next week, we will begin a new Social Studies unit on Geography.
Reading- We have been revisiting and reviewing all of the reading skills that we learned at the beginning of the year. We are becoming more fluent and expressive readers. Some reading classes are also learning the phonics dance so that we never forget the important phonics rules!
Math- We are currently learning about geometry. We have learned about many 2-D shapes and their attributes. For example, we know that a square has 4 sides, 4 right angles, 4 vertices, and 2 pairs of parallel lines. We also just started partitioning shapes into halves, thirds, and fourths.
Writing- We are finishing up our non-fiction writing unit! Every student has been working hard on a non-fiction book of their own.
