Parents,
Our
story in language arts last week was A
Walk in the Desert. We tied it to
science by learning about the plants and animals that live in that
climate. We watched a live webcast from
the Bean Museum and learned about adaptations by seeing live animals, like a
turtle and a snake. We wrote about the
desert and did a watercolor picture for art.
Have your child tell you about it!
Our
story this week was The Strongest One. It is written as a play, so we practiced
during the week and acted it out today.
It was a great way to work on our fluency and using expression. Next week is a review unit.
We
just finished our math unit on addition strategies with the test and a fun “flip
flop facts” art project. We will start
our unit on subtraction strategies on Monday.
Please have your child keep practicing his or her math facts with Reflex
Math.
If
you haven’t signed up for parent-teacher conferences, please do so as soon as
possible. The dates are October 9-10.
Thanks
for all you do. Have a great weekend!
