Tonight’s homework is to go on Compass Learning and work for at least
10mintues on a lesson. Online tests are
due this Friday the 18th.
Language Arts: Recently we finished reading Stone Fox as a
class. We watched the movie and compared
it to the novel which was different in many ways. In our reading, we are learning to take
charge of our own comprehension. We are also continuing our writing work
on small moments and narratives. We are also working on envisioning
scenes from our reading and trying to write in a way that allows our readers to
envision our writing. Finally, in our independent reading time, we are
using all of our reading skills to help us improve our reading stamina.
We are working hard!
Social Studies:
We are thinking like geographers as we learn how to read
maps. We will learn about the compass
rose, parts of a globe, hemispheres, latitude and longitude, make grids,
keys/legends, political maps, and population maps.
Science: We love our tower garden!!! All of our
seedlings are all in and we are excited to watch them grow in the tower garden
over the next few weeks. Mint was transplanted from soil to our garden
and we are making careful observations as it makes the transition to the
aeroponic garden. We share this garden with other classes who will put
the finishing touches on it this week! We are having the best time
learning what successful scientists do!
***Often we post things on our class SeeSaw accounts as well on
our Google Classroom accounts. Ask your child to show you what he/she has
done so far!
