Dear Parents,
In math this week we focused on base ten relationships to 1,200. We also took our middle of the year math CBA. This test covers all the skills covered the first half of the school year. We use the information to reinforce skills that we feel need more practice. This assessment will not be used as a grade in the gradebook.
In writing we began our unit on poetry and we will continue this unit next week as we learn about the elements of poetry and draft a few poems as well. We will take one or more to the final copy stage and collect other pages to put in a poetry book. We will be reading poems during our reading block of time as it is also our reading focus. We will visualize as we read and draw our mind movies.
In Social studies we read a Scholastic News about Martin Luther King, Jr. and made a project telling about each child’s dream for our world.
In science we continued learning about natural and man made resources as we found them inside and outside our school. We did a picture sorting activity and created a bumper sticker to help promote the conservation of a natural resource. We watched a brainpop jr. video, discussed the contents of it and took a quiz.
