Conversation Starters
As a way to foster conversations with your child about what we are learning, please ask him/her the following:
What is Ichthyology? What is an Ichthyologist?
Magical Mathematicians
Please read the following problem with your child and help him solve the problem.
Alynn had 10 snowballs. How can she break them into two groups/sets? (2 snowballs and 8 snowballs, 4 snowballs and 6 snowballs, etc.)
Your child can earn a special reward by drawing a picture to illustrate the math problem above. Please return the math work on Monday.
Reading in Action
Read a story to your child. Ask your child...
Which part of the story was the most exciting?
Literacy Workstations
Writers Workshop
As writers, we can write narrative stories to include who, what, when and where.
Reading Workshop
As readers, we can bring our stories "to life" by reading more fluently.
Math Workshop
As mathematicians, we can compose numbers through ten by creating two sets to make a number and write an equation to make the number.
Math Workstations
Social Sciences
As Ichthyologists, we can state facts about fish.
We can share how we are experts.
Our Projects
Shared Reading
As readers, we can read (and almost "sing") stories with predictable patterns.
Happy Birthday, Alynn!
Environmental Science Activities
Family Activities
Please share family activities with us. We will try to provide time for your child to share about their special activities in class and also post some of the pictures in our newsletter. This is a great way for us to share with one another and build our classroom community/family.
