Week 34

 Dear Parents,

         This week in math we continued on with graphing. We read bar graphs and pictographs to answer questions. We had to be sure to look at the numbers at the bottom of the graph or the graph key to see if the numbers were going up by 1s, 2s, 5s, or 10s. We also had a chance to analyze the data and come up with our own questions.

           In writing we continued researching the Great White Shark. They children were amazed at the interesting facts we learned through research. Once we are finished with our class paper your child will begin researching an animal of his/her choice during writing and science time to write their own research paper. Information is coming home today in your child’s Coyote folder about a habitat box that your child will make at home. Directions are on the paper. Using a shoe box your child creates a habitat that can support their chosen animal. There should be a water source, a food source and possibly shelter depending on the animal. This can be completely made out of paper. There is no need to spend money on supplies unless you choose to. If you would like some construction paper to help support this project, just send an e-mail to me telling me what colors you would like. Printing a picture of your animal and placing it in the habitat works, but if your child would like to draw their animal, I can send home white paper.

           In reading and social studies we learned about the continents and oceans of the world. We also learned who  producers and consumers are and how they are dependent on one another. We made a circle-rama showing how we are consumers who buy things that are grown by, made by, or are provided a service by a producer.

             In science we are learning all about the characteristics of animals eyes, ears, teeth, limbs, and body coverings. We talked about how these different characteristics help them survive. We even got to handle real animal furs from our library!

 

• Thank you to my five parents who volunteered to help with the pillowcase project (Amber Rice, Yessidey Stevens, Michelle Douglas, Jee Yeun Yun, and Christopher Restorff) and for all the extra donations so that all students have a pillowcase. – I do not have the printed poem from our team lead as of yet, but will get them sent home as soon as I do .
