this blog. There is important
information about the following weeks.
This

We are going to continue reading stories from Owl at Home. We are going
to be predicting, identifying the setting and talking about Character Traits.
Last week, the children all enjoyed learning
about Spiders. They learned a variety of facts, which the students included in
their writing pieces. For this week, we will be learning about Owls. The
children will write an informative piece about all the facts they will be
learning. If you happen to have any books, posters, or any other resource that
might be useful for us, it would be greatly appreciated.
We will
be starting a new unit in Maps, Legends and Fairy tales. We will be learning
and drawing pictorial maps. If you have any maps, globe, compasses, legends, or
fairy tales you would like to share, please bring them in and have your child's
name on them.
This week we are starting a new chapter. Your child will learn about comparing
numbers (greater than, less than) We will be having a Math Test on
Thursday, March 1st about Place
Value.
Comparing
Dr. Seuss's birthday
is coming up soon! We will be
honoring his 114th birthday by studying about his biography and
reading books about him. If your child would
like to share any of their favorite books, please have your child bring them
in. Make sure that your child´s name is written on each book. On
Friday, March 2nd your
child can come to school wearing a shirt or any other item from Dr. Seuss.
On Monday, March 5th the children will
be taking home an empty booklet in which they will have the chance to become
authors and illustrators. They will create their own main character and write a
10 page story that goes along with their characters. Each page should have only
one to two sentences. These
sentences need to have rhyming words. For example,
Page 1: The pig is wearing a wig.
The big wig is pink. Page 2: The pig
meets the dragon that is pulling a wagon.
These books should be
turned in back to school on Friday, April
6th. The children will be reading their books to each other and
also to other students from other grades. Be creative and remember that
imagination can take you everywhere!
Following this celebration during the week of March 12th – March 16th we will have a
different activity every day. I am including the links of the books if you wish
to watch them with your child at home.
