Writing:
This week we are finishing up our bat diaries. We have learned about writing in first person and have started our rough drafts. After writing, we will edit with a partner and write our final copy using complete sentences, capital letters, and a sense of imagination! Come see the final product in the hallway!
Reading:
We are looking at author's purpose. Authors generally write to persuade, inform, or entertain so we will use a pie graphic to help us decide what the author's purpose was. We will also complete a sorting activity to see what kinds of books are written to inform, persuade, or entertain. This week when you are reading with your child, have them determine the author's purpose before reading. Then when you're done, check to see if you were right!
Math:
This is going to be a long week as we begin our study of length. We will start by studying the customary system of measurement with inches, feet, and yards. Students will practice estimating the length of an object and then measuring using a ruler to check. Later in the week, we will measure from head to toe as students will measure a buddy's height, foot size, thumb length, and the distance they can jump.
Science:
This week we are looking at forms of energy, such as heat, light, and sound energy. We will notice how different amounts of energy affect what we can see and feel.
Question of the week:
Pick a good citizen and make a timeline of their life. Include 7-10 significant events on your timeline.
Reminders:
Halloween on Tuesday- no costumes please!
TAG information meeting: Thursday, November 2nd at 7:45 am.
