Week 12

  Dear Parents,

         We had another wonderful week of learning! In math we focused on measuring- first with nonstandard measuring tools and then with inches, feet and yards. In writing we continued revising/editing/publishing our imaginative stories and wrote an acrostic poem about veterans. In reading we read two folktales (which are a kind of fable). They were in the form of a drama. We took a comprehension check after reading them several times and forming mental images. In Science we continued exploring forms of energy by watching Discovery Streaming videos, writing a CER, playing vocabulary games and then using those words to fill in a cloze procedure. Our assessment was on Friday.

 

Please use the link below to sign up for your child’s Fall Conference. Make sure you put your child’s name and whether you would like a phone conference or would like to meet on Webex in the comments. If you wish to not meet at this time, respond to this e-mail to let me know. I look forward to meeting with you to discuss your child’s progress.
