Dear Parents,
As you may have heard, school will be closed for both tomorrow Thursday Feb. 3rd and Friday Feb. 4th due to the winter storm advisory. You can check the LISD website for more information. LISD Weather Closure
This week in math we finished up units 3 and 4 on ordering and comparing numbers to 1,200 and took our assessment. Next week we will be focusing on solving different types of addition and subtraction word problems.
In writing we are working on finishing our poetry books and putting them together- we are almost all finished and can’t wait to share our original poems. Next week we will begin a unit on research. We will be writing biographies. We will learn how to collect important information and organize it in a timeline order. We will be using multiple sources to research our chosen person.
In reading/ social studies we learned about how pictures on a map key stand for features on a map. We learned about the Lunar New Year as we read a Scholastic News, watched a Discovery Streaming video and even tried using chopsticks to eat Ramen Noodles. The children had fun reading their fortunes from the fortune cookie they also ate. They made a red banner and tried to copy different Chinese characters to write a message. Gung Hay Fat Choy!
In science we began plotting the moon phases on Feb. 1st. It was perfect timing as it was a New Moon which marks the beginning of the Lunar New Year Celebrations! Two weeks from now the moon should be a Full Moon according to the article we read. We can’t wait to see how our moon phase calendar comes out.
