Welcome back!! Hope you had a wonderful track-out. We are working on getting back to work and our routines. We are excited to begin a brand new quarter. We begin the 2nd quarter with collaboration between teachers and parents. Our Learning Partnership Night was a great success. We look forward to continuing this partnership and dialogue to help our students become the best they can be. Thank you for your continued support!
What we are learning…
Reading and Writing:
In reading and writing, we are studying text related to fossils. We will ask and answer questions about the text. We will retell what happened in the text. We will describe how characters respond to major events in the text. We will use the words and pictures to help us understand the text better. We will be writing about information gained from the text. We will determine the meaning of unknown and multiple-meaning words. We will share research findings.
Math:
In math, we are skip counting by 5s and 10s. We will tell and write time from analog and digital clocks to the nearest five minutes, using a.m. and p.m. We will use addition to find and write an equation expressing the total number of objects arranged in rectangular arrays. We will read and write numbers, within 1,000, using base-ten numerals, number names, and expanded form.
Science:
We will understand the relationship between sound and vibrating objects. We will illustrate how sound is produced by vibrating objects and columns of air. We will record the relationship between sound and objects of the body that vibrate.
