 What We've Been Up To:​​ ​
​
  • In Math we continued learning about fractions. We learned 1/2 and 1/4 using sets and shapes. We also began learning about numerators and denominators in all types of fractions.

  • During our Reading Workshop time, we learned about lessons. We learned that all books have lessons and that books can be grouped by the lessons they teach.
​​
  • In Writing Workshop we are working on our own realistic fictions series. We are each creating our own series and using the same pretend characters in each new book we write.
​
  • In Phonics we learned that vowels make their long vowel sound when there is a 'vowel-consonant-e' pattern in a word. Ex: cave, line, tape
​
  • For Science,  we learned about sound and sound waves. We learned that sound comes from vibrations and that sound can travel quicker through water and wood.

  • For Social Students,  we learned about careers and wrote about the career we would like to have. We also listened to many presentations on Career day from a nurse, scientist  software engineer, and mathematics professor. 




 

Reminders

We have begun doing a "Star Student" of the week. Each Friday, a student will chosen as the Star Student for the next week. 
Star Students are students who always try their best and work hard. They also follow directions and are kind to others.
There are many fun things Star Student get to do during the week! If your child is chosen, they will bring home a folder on Friday with papers inside explaining what they get to do each day the following week.
