Dear Families,
This week has gone by in a flash. Here are some highlights.
In our literacy block, the question of the week was: What can we learn by exploring space? We read non-fiction stories about the lives of astronauts, and about some of the planets. We also learned a cool song. During our writing time, we have been working on a rough draft of a poem about a real or imagined place. The children have first drawn and colored a picture about their special place, and we have brainstormed words to describe this place. Now, we are working on finding rhythm, repetition, or rhyme using these words. The goal is to have a finished poem for each child by next Friday. Then, I will try to get them posted to our blogsite with their drawings. ( Heh, parents, this could be a job for you!!!) Please let me know if you're interested in helping out on the blog. You could come into the classroom to use my computer or work from home.
In math, we finished Topic 1 which was a unit on addition and subtraction using the model of a part/part whole mat. Scores on that test are attached. Please feel free to see me if you have questions.
Have a great weekend. Thanks so much if you have visited the site, and thanks, especially if you have left a comment.
