Week of 2-8-16
Dear Parents,
We have an exciting week coming up. Don't forget students will be presenting their creative poetry at our Poet Tea on Friday, February 12 from 10:30 to 11:15. Our Valentine's Day party will also be on Friday from 1;00 to 2:00. Please make sure to send a Valentine for each student. A list of student names was sent home with the party letter. Students will need to make a valentine container to bring in on Friday.
What's happening in the classroom:
Science/Social Studies:
We will be finishing up our look at magnetism and patterns of movement. We will be moving into our next unit of inquiry Where We Are in Place and Time. The unit is all about communities. The rules within a community, why people settle where they settle, how weather affects settlement and how settlements are developed. SHHH! We use Minecraft.edu for our summative project.
Math:
We are continuing to learn about multiplication as groups of, arrays and the relationship between multiplication and division.
Reading and Writing:
We will be finishing up our unit of inquiry How We Express Ourselves. Our culminating activity will be the Poet Tea. I can't wait for the students to share all their creative poetry.
Word work:
We continue to work on parts of speech including adjectives, adverbs, and prepositions. Please be working on the four list of high frequency words. I have put the list on spelling city for the students to use and practice.
Secret word of the week: magnetism
Have a wonderful weekend,
Ms. Hansen
