Writing:
This week we are focusing on procedural or "how-to" texts. Students will write down the steps for a recipe to create a food spider. Then we will follow each other's instructions to make a fun, spooky treat! Students will work on using complete sentences, capital letters and punctuation, and transition words to help make our writing crystal-clear. Be on the lookout for your child's instructions so you make your own treat at home!
Reading:
We are finishing up non-fiction test features. We will learn about headings, a table of contents, an index, and photographs. Students will learn why many nonfiction texts have these features and how they make the book easier to read.
Math:
It's time for telling time! Students will learn to tell time to the minute this week. They will also learn about AM and PM and will write down different parts of their day with the correct AM or PM label. Students will also think about how long different activities take and decide if they will take a second, minute, or hour. This week try switching the display on your phone to analog and have your child practice reading it throughout the week!
Social Studies:
This week we are thinking like historians. First we will name some local, state, and national monuments and landmarks. Then we will create timelines about different good citizens and talk about events from the past and present. Students will also create a timeline about their own life!
Question of the week: Who were Lewis and Clark
Reminders:
Field trip on Tuesday: Don't forget a sack lunch and close-toed shoes!
International Festival: Thursday, October 19th at 6pm
