Week 32

 Dear Parents,

          This week in math we delved into interpreting graphs. We looked at the information given and answered questions about the graphs and even composed questions of our own. We also made predictions upon seeing patterns on the graph as to what the next week would look like. Did the number go up? Down? By how much? There has been lots of critical thinking going on. In reading/social studies we have been focusing on consumers, producers, goods and services. How do the goods we buy at the store get made and get to the store. We have looked at and created flow charts to see the steps. In writing we began writing our own procedural text about something we know how to do. We brainstormed many ideas, then chose a topic. Each child then will break their steps into 4 boxes, draw illustrations, then text. In science we have started ou unit on the life cycles of insects. We had our caterpillars arrive last Friday. The children watched them as they quickly quadrupled in size and then went into a chrysalis. We are anxiously awaiting our butterflies to emerge. On Wednesday we had special visitors via webex. One of my former student’s parents are owners of seven different birds. They shared how they care for them as well as talked about the physical characteristics and behaviors of their birds. We learned lots of wonderful information!
