Happy Rainy Monday to Everyone!
Rainy days can make for long days indoors! It's a good thing we always have so much to do! This week we will continue adding ideas for our stories in Writer's Workshop. We are reading stories in our Voices reading series and focusing on expanding our vocabulary, writing responses to our reading, and working on grammar skills. Ask your child about our read aloud, Gooseberry Park. It's a class favorite! Our math lessons are reviewing skills taught last year. Name collection boxes, measurement, telling time, using a calculator, and finding differences highlight our lessons this week.
We are beginning our first science experiment this week using the scientific method. We are studying land forms this week in Social Studies. There will be a project assignment given out on Tuesday that deals with geography. The project is due the following Thursday. Be creative and fun with this first project. Your help should be minimal. I really want to see what your child can do. I have confidence that they will do a fantastic job and learn much along the way!
This Friday we will have our spelling test as well as quizzes over the vocabulary words. I expect that this graded work will go home this time next week. It will be in the manila envelope I spoke about at Open House.
Please feel free to contact me at any time with questions you may have regarding your child or what we are doing in class.
Wishing you all a wonderful week!
Ms. Mitchell
