Family Fun Night
Thank you for your support. Just a reminder that Family Fun Night will be held on Friday, May 3rd.
Curriculum
Reading/Writing/Science:As readers, we've been reading about a chick egg. We've learned about its parts and how they help the embryo to develop and grow. We then used that learning to help us write another non-fiction writing. Next week, we will learn about hatching.
FIELD TRIP: Please remember we have our field trip on Monday, May 6th. Students need to dress appropriately for the weather. They need close toed shoes. Students also need to bring their own lunches as we will be eating at the farm.
Book Baggies:
Please help the students remember to bring their book baggies every Friday. I would like them to have an opportunity to read different books.
Math:
We learned to compose different shapes using smaller 2D shapes. Next week, we will learn to partition shapes into halves and fourths.
IXL Skills - Use these activities as you wish to help your child with the skills we will be working on throughout this third trimester.
Purposeful Play
Please see the Purposeful Play tab on the blog to learn more about our weekly Play Time and donation items we could use for it!
Homework
- Read every night (you can read with your child, listen to them read or read to them - all of it helps). Then talk about the book - who are the characters, what happened, why did it happen, make connections, what's the main idea, why did the author write the book, how did the author give you information, what features did the author use to help you as a reader
- Work on a math skill
- counting forwards and backwards within 120 (and skip counting)
- adding and subtracting to 20 - play a board game for this
- telling time (What are the hands on the clock? How is a clock set up?)
- identify and count coins
- measuring - length and volume - have your child cook with you to practice this
- talk about shapes - 2D and 3D - find items around your house, etc.)
