Week 12

 Dear Parents,

           This week in math we worked on time to the minute and area. Please continue to work with your child at home on time. There will be occasional homework papers to reinforce this skill. We also worked on area. They had fun using foam tiles to figure out how many square units a shape contained.

            In writing we continue to work on our individual narrative projects and are learning how to write an imaginative story. They are so excited to include things like talking animals or objects, magic and more. Two students have already begun his/her individual imaginative story. We are taking both these projects through the writing process.

             In reading we have been focused on fairy tales. We have listened to 4 fairy tales and read one. We were graded on a graphic organizer that focused on a story’s elements and the important parts of the beginning, middle and end of the story. We compared two versions of Goldilocks.

               In science we have been reviewing what we have learned about sound and are planning to make a device to solve a problem. We are working together to plan, create and possibly correct anything that might make their invention better.
