Happy Monday Everyone!
We are in for a second week in a row of Crazy-Busy-Week! This Thursday is Poetry in the Park. We are very excited about our poem "Eat-It-All-Elaine". Ashley Oleyar was voted by her classmates to be our "Elaine". I'm confident she will do a great job. Please have your child practice the poem at home. Our class has been blessed with t-shirts to wear for our poem. I will hand them out the day of the program. Please have your child wear their uniform bottom, and if the weather is cool you may wish for them to wear a neutral long sleeve shirt to wear under the t-shirt.
Just a reminder that this Friday is a professional development day for teachers so students have no school. Since the week is cut short, we will not have a spelling test or Friday comprehension sheet this week.
Some other class news...
We began a unit of study with reading and writing poetry. Please ask your child what they have observed about the poems they read so far. We are also continuing to read Charlotte's Web. Both of these units will be completed before the Thanksgiving break.
I noticed that many of the children are having difficulty with measurement conversions. They will need to know the basics such as:
12 inches = 1 foot
36 inches = 1 yard
100 centimeters = 1 meter BUT...they will need to apply this to problems such as:
3 yards = _____ inches
6 ft = _____ yards
______ meters = 300 centimeters
We will have a math test next week over our measurement unit.
I wish you all a wonderful week!
