Here's a classroom update:
Morning Meeting: We have begun to study "Power Words" every morning, in place of editing a morning message. We continue our many different kinds of morning greetings and share days remain the same.
Math: We are currently in our unit on fractions. Hopefully, we will get some baking in during this time since it requires lots of fractional measuring. "Number of the Day" continues- ask your child about these interesting numbers!
Writing: We are in full swing with report writing. Researching, note-taking, categorizing, and turning notes in paragraphs is a large part of this work.
Reading: Our new read aloud is Top Secret, which is so top secret that the cover is hidden. It's about a boy who tries to discover human photosynthesis! We continue to read and discuss non-fiction books; they way they are organized, whether they are expository or narrative, and how they teach readers. Partner/independent reading is going strong, so thanks for you support at home with this!
Science: We are wrapping up our Motion & Design unit and are beginning our study of Plants & Trees. Our trip to Jillson's on the 21st will tie in perfectly with this.
Social Studies: To delve more deeply into Maine's history, the class will be reading more about their state and incorporating this knowledge into a play. Our trip to the farm will also help children understand the importance of agriculture to Maine.
