In Science we are starting a unit called Patterns in Space. We will be observing the phases of the moon. We will also talk about planets, the sun, and the stars.
We are still reading lots and working on story structure. As students read with you encourage them to talk about the details in the story and to make predictions. We are continuing to work on long vowels with the focus on vowel pairs (Ex...ea, ee, ai, ay).
In writing we are moving into a unit on writing reviews. To begin this fun unit each student needs to bring in a small collection of items to use during this unit. The collection should be no more than 6 items, and will need to remain at school for the duration of the unit. In order to store and keep these items safe please try to send them in a small box of some sort. (shoe box, empty cereal box, or an empty snack box) The collection can be anything the child has at home already…..please do not feel you need to go out and purchase anything. Have fun picking a collection of items.
As always thanks for your support and contact us with any questions.
