Hello everyone! I had a wonderful weekend of seeing old friends. I also had a great time with many of our Ivy Hill teachers at the Just Move It challenge on Saturday morning. I saw a couple of you there. Hope you all had great fun this weekend and enjoyed the sunshine today!
Although I say this every week, we have a packed week! We will be continuing and expanding many of our projects we have begun in class.
In Reading- Last week we read The Lotus Seed. Everyone seemed very engaged and interested in the history behind the story. We will continue to work on questioning and inferencing this week in our whole group lessons as well as in our guided reading groups. We will also continue spelling as normal.
In Math- We continue to work hard on our fractions. We will continue to challenge ourselves with equivalent fractions through games and center work.
In Social Studies- Everyone has been doing a wonderful job creating their own continent map. The groups have been focusing on designing map keys and researching important landforms of their continent. This week we will be taking a closer look at elevation and coloring in our maps according to the elevation of the continent. We will be needing volunteers to help our class build our salt and flour maps on the afternoon of the 25th. If you think you would like to help please email me.
In Science- We continue to talk about plants and life cycles. We recently read The Tiny Seed by Eric Carle. The class did a wonderful job recording plant facts and drawing conclusions from those facts. We have a special surprise arrival this week... stay tuned!
In Writing- The class continues to do an excellent job writing their autobiographies. Everyone is growing in their ability to zoom in on one moment and use descriptive language to describe it. We are hoping to finish our autobiographies this week so we can move on to our next exciting writing project.
Stay positive everyone! We are going to have a great week!
