Dear Parents,
In math we finished up our unit on solid and plane shapes and began our unit on graphing. We started on Friday learning about a bar graph. We answered questions about the data shown as well as came up with our own questions about each graph.
In language we began to research a seal as a class by narrowing down the topic, filling out a R.A.N. C art about what we thought we knew, misconceptions, proven facts, and listed questions that we still had. Next week we will be digging into our research to write a paper taking it through the writing process. We also learned about abbreviations and why we use them.
In reading we focused on reading to find the main idea of an article as well as finding a main idea for each paragraph. We had lots of partner work reading nonfiction texts and looking for the main ideas together!
In science we started our new unit called Life Cycle of Insects. We have already watched as the Painted Lady Butterfly larva ate, grew larger, formed a chrysalis and came out as an adult butterfly. We kept them about two days then set them free to fly around outside CRE.Look on our blog to see what they looked like.
In social studies we continued with our study of Now and Then. We completed our flip book comparing communication, home, school, toys, games, and transportation from now to long ago. The students were amazed at how things used to be.
