September 19th, 2016

Greetings,
      This week we are learning about tools that scientist use. Then on Friday we will have our special cow eyeball dissection activity. It's going to be so cool! Our dissection project will be at 1:45-2:30 p.m. on Friday.
     We are continuing to learn about communities this week. Last week we discussed the different types of communities that we live in and wrote about what we see and do in our own community. This week we will talk about how we can help our community. Then students are going to pick one community project that they would like to participate in.
     In writing we will be learning the parts of a letter and how to write a letter. Students will write a special letter to their grandparents. They will give the letters to their grandparents on Grandparents Day at school next week. Students will also be able to buy stamps and mail letters in the Post Office this week.
     Grandparents Day is next Monday, September 26th at 1:40 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. We will have a short performance in the FEMA gym, then come back to the classroom for a special tea party. 
    In math we will continue working on telling time, adding and subtracting with fluency, and sketching a ten base frame. We will also focus on counting money with pennies, nickels, and dimes this week.
     In reading we are focusing on using strategies to solve unknown words, making connections with books and sequencing events of a story in order.


Please email or call at anytime with questions or concerns that you may have.
