Weekly Preview...

This week...

We will continue to Read, Read, Read.  I have adjusted some reading groups because we are flying through books with great fluency and comprehension.  We will continue with word study and will work on compound words and words with oo.  We will do a fun lesson using Cookie Crisp cereal to do our oo lesson.  We will begin to write Narratives.  We will use the book Duck on a Bike this week as our literature model.

We will continue with math fast facts and begin to work on graphing and magnitude in math.  That means lots of interviewing our classmates.  This way we can work on collecting data, putting into graph form and then answering questions about the data we collected.  We will also work on magnitude which means lots of estimating and counting.

We will continue to work on our Animals unit.  We began last week with learning about the differences between living and nonliving and what a living thing needs to survive.  This week we will talk about habitats and the skin coverings of different animal groups.  We will cover birds, reptiles, mammals and amphibians.

We are working through the new schedule changes.  I know the class is tired by the end of the day but they are doing great!  We will continue to work up to the 3:45 bell, so please be aware that if you pull your child out of class, they will be missing educational time, not extra recess.  Thank you all for being understanding as we push on and try to make it to Spring.

Things to remember:

March 28- end of the 3rd nine weeks
March 28- half day ( as of now---THIS MAY CHANGE after the Monday School Board Meeting ) be on the lookout for that outcome!!!

Thanks for all you do and have a great week!
Mrs. Beltz
