Week 31

 

Dear Parents,

         This week we took our test on solid and plane shapes. We then began our unit on graphing. We have covered a bar graph, a pictograph, and learned how to organize our data in many ways. In writing we finished editing and publishing our how to draw a crab procedural paper. This was a class project. Next week we will begin our individual projects. In reading/ social studies we learned about North America and used our map skills to complete a map and then answer questions. We learned the difference between wants and needs and sorted items in a T-chart. We read about consumers and producers and completed a circle-rama showing the difference between these two vocabulary words. In science we got to finish up our animal unit on behaviors and characteristics of animals by looking at actual animal furs and skulls. We learned how these characteristics help the animals live and survive. We ended the week with our unit assessment.

 

• Please Send in the STANDARD SIZED PILLOW CASE FOR A PRECIOUS KEEPSAKE PROJECT. See the letter in  your child’s coyote folder. This information was in our last week’s newsletter. This takes time to do and we cannot start it until we have all the pillow cases. So far no one has sent one to school. If you purchase a pack of two and would like to donate a pillow case to someone in our class, that would be appreciated.
