Can you believe first quarter will be ending in just a few short weeks. I sent out a sign-up sheet for Parent Teacher Conferences last week through Sing-up Genius. You should have gotten an invite through your email to sign up. If not, please let me know.
This week we will be learning the difference of a fact and opinion. Students will learn to write an informational paper that includes facts and opinions this week. They will also focus on including a beginning, middle, and ending to their papers.
In math we will continue working on number bonds and greater than/less than. We will begin a new unit on measurement this week. Students will learn to measure to the nearest centimeter and inch.
On Thursday of this week we will do some special fall activities. We will write opinions about fall, use apples to measure objects in the class and use centimeters and inches to measure the size of apples. We will also make apple butter. Yum! Yum!
On Friday students will participate in some special force and motion activities. Students are learning how gravity and friction works. They will design a road and use magnets to pull cars, make marshmallow shooters, and design incline planes.
*****We are in need of a few items to help us with apple butter and our force/motion activities. Any donations would be appreciated!
