We have decided to change our schedules a little. Each morning students will start with journal writing with their homeroom teacher. We have changed show and share to Friday mornings from 8:45 - 9:10. This frees our original show and share times up for literacy.
In science and social studies we continue to study Antarctica. In social studies students are studying cause and effect in relation to living in Antarctica. In science we are learning about different kinds of penguins.
In math both classes are working on time. Kids are learning to tell time to the hour, quarter hour, half hour, and three quarters of an hour.
In literacy both classes are working on Dolch sight words and reading fluency. Katie's class is also working on the writing process and are working on paragraphs about winter break. Students in Keri's class will be bringing home words to sort into categories so check your child's folder daily.
Tomorrow your child will be choosing a penguin poem to memorize at home. They will present them next Thursday afternoon. Not only will this help with confidence, it will also help prepare students for Poetry Day in Upper Elementary.
We are in need of paper towels, spoons, and forks. If you are in Katie's class please send in a small box of plastic utensils. If you are in Keri's class please send in a roll of paper towels.
We encourage children to only bring toys to school for show and share. If your child chooses to bring something for show and share, please make sure they understand that often when things are brought to school they can be lost or broken. It is a good idea not to bring items that special and/or valuable.
Tomorrow at 1:15 we will be walking over to Talmadge Hall at Hollins for our Martin Luther King, Jr. Award Ceremony.
