Week 31

 Dear Parents,

      This week we learned about 2-D shapes that had from 3 vertices and sides to 12 vertices and sides. We learned how to be exact in our marking and counting those sides. We also learned a new vocabulary word- parallel. We talked about which shapes have parallel sides.

       In writing we continued on drafting, editing and revising our how to paper. We learned about prepositions and how they are helpful words when you are writing a procedural paper.

        In Social studies/ reading we learned all about landforms like mountains, hills, plains, volcanoes, coastlines, and plateaus. We created a flip book to demonstrate our knowledge of those landforms.

         In science we had an exciting development. Our butterfly larvae arrived. All week we observed them as they ate and grew. They shed their skin as they grew. We can’t wait to see them make their Chrysalis. We wrote down our wonderings about grasshoppers and butterflies as we will continue to learn about an insects life cycle.

 

    *A Field Trip letter and form came home last week in your child’s Coyote Folder. The form and $12.00 are due on MONDAY. Please make sure it gets put in your child’s blue folder as we have to send the money to the museum. We will be going to the Perot Museum on Monday, May 8^th.

      I will be allowed to take 5 chaperones to the museum. The chaperones will come at 8:40 to collect their groups lunches in our classroom. Each chaperone will have 3-4 children. Please bring a bag large enough to hold the lunches. Chaperones will follow the buses to the museum. The cost of the student is $12.00. The 5 chaperone slots are filled. If you are one of the five, you will receive a second e-mail from me today, including my classroom  link for you to sign up for our field trip.
