Tuesday (3/12): Tuesday folders go home. Please unload and return on Wednesday. Wednesday (3/13): Thursday (3/14): Friday (3/15): STEAM DAY This week in Reading and Writing workshop… We will continue our exploration of Poetry as readers and writers! We will begin to look for sensory language in Poetry. We will listen for details make us think of something we see, hear, smell, touch or taste. We will think about how this type of language engages us as readers. As writers, we will also think about the “ingredients” that poems need. When writing poetry we write about things we care a lot about! It helps us, as writers, think about the meaning of our poetry. We will focus on “showing, not telling” to help the readers of our poetry feel our poems in their souls! This week in Math… We will continue relating Addition and Subtraction. We will use objects and picture models to solve word problems that involve joining, separating and comparing sets of numbers. Please continue to practice Dreambox at home! Our PTA provides this AMAZING resource and I love logging on and seeing what the children are learning. This week in Social Studies… We will be wrapping up our unit on economics. We will read about different ways citizens make choices to meet their needs in our community. This week in Science… We will be learning about fish. We will study the characteristics, habitat and life cycle of fish.

Monday (3/4): Life Skill Award Tuesday (3/5): Tuesday folders go home. Please unload and return on Wednesday. Wednesday (3/6): Library Checkout! Thursday (3/7): Friday (3/8): Academies I can not believe that it is already March! We are quickly approaching the end of the year. Remember to keep reading daily. :) This week in Reading and Writing workshop… We will be exploring Poetry as readers and writers! We will learn what poetry is and form our own ideas of what it can be. We will read poems and listen for the music in them. We will discover rhythm and rhyme in poetry. We will begin to write simple poems and discover that big thoughts can come in little packages! If you would like to help with this at home, one great way is to practice rhyming words. You can even play “Rhyming I-Spy.” When going for a walk or in the car, you can say, “I see a tree, that rhymes with ______.” Your little one should be able to say “bee, me, fee, he, she, etc.” This week in Math… We will begin relating Addition and Subtraction. We will learn about how the facts are related and all about Fact Families. We will practice with word problems and experiences with concrete objects in class. Learning how addition and subtraction are related will help your child recall basic math facts quickly as their mental math strategies develop. This week in Social Studies… We will be exploring the wants and needs of people. This week in Science… We will be learning about Life Cycles. We will discuss the similarities and differences in the life cycle of a frog compared to the life cycles of other animals.
