Week 21

 Dear Parents,

      This week in math we have been practicing order, and comparing numbers. We filled in missing numbers on a 100s chart and talked about how some numbers are greater than or less than a given number. We worked together as well had individual challenges to earn stickers. Can I just say that I gave away a lot of stickers and are very proud of them. 

        In writing we are still holding onto our friendly letters until all are turned in , final copy. These will go home next week and can be delivered to the person your child’s letter is addressed to. We started our unit on poetry. We are listening to many poems, pointing out the elements of poetry we find in them. We are drawing pictures as we visualize each poem as its read. We will draft several poems and take at least two to final copy. Reading is also focusing on poetry as we read, visualize and took a comprehension check over a collection of three poems.

         In science this week we started our unit on weather. The weather we have been experiencing has given us a lot to think about. We are learning the names of the weather tools and what each tool can tell us about the weather. We even learned that our eyes can be a weather tool.
