Inspire~Educate~Empower

Reading/Science:  Our class will take an expedition and discover the many different ecosystems and their fascinating characteristics.  We will begin our adventure in the tundra and learn about the plants and animals that make it their home.

Math: We will begin our study of multiplication and its relationship with repeated addition.  Literature activities and vocabulary understanding will begin our study.

Social Studies:  Our students will study immigration through engaging literature activities.  The students’ research and role playing of immigrant children will help their connection and understanding.

Language:  We will review singular and plural rules of nouns and verbs. Word sorts, patterns and relating them to our everyday lives/spelling activities will help the students grasp this challenging skill.

Thank You!

  Thank you parents, grandparents and friends for taking the time to come to Biography Day and celebrate our children and their amazing efforts!  We enjoyed our time with you and look forward to seeing you at our Poetry Celebration before Winter Break.  

 

This week for spelling we will learn about 3 important rules that help us understand singular and plural nouns.  Your child will work on daily activities and apply strategies to help them.  The easy steps we have worked out are on the back to help them at home too!  On Friday they should be able to spell the singular and apply the rules for each.  We will only have 10 words so that we are not memorizing, but connecting.  Thank you!
