Week 9

 Dear Parents,

       This week in math we have been working hard on learning two digit subtraction, with and without regrouping. Thank you for your support at home and working with your child. This is always confusing at first, but we’re getting it! 

        In writing your children have taken off by planning his/her individual narrative writing project. The children are excited to write about their experiences and are doing an excellent job so far. We also have learned about nouns, Proper Noun s, plural/ singular nous and abbreviations! 

         In Social Studies/ reading we read Big Red Lollipop and took a comprehension check. We discussed how the story was written in first person. We also discussed what it means for a story to be written in  third person .We listened to The Compromise Kid video and discussed how we can compromise when we are having a disagreement. We used words like compromise, decision, and disagreement. We talked about antonyms and synonyms for these words. In science we continued with our unit on sound. We used tuning forks to see and feel vibrations. We talked about volume as loud or quiet sounds. We listened for low or high pitches and talked about how the sound waves differ for those pitches. We read and highlighted an article about sound. On Thursday, we put together a book about sound, highlighted it and glued it in our science notebooks.
