Today your child is bringing home an animal book with a yellow packet inside. This is for their animal report. They will be doing research on their animals at home and then filling out the attached form. In school we will type up the reports and they are making a mini habitat for their animal in library. These reports will be on display during Celebration of Learning! If there is any information you cannot find in the book they brought home, feel free to do some online research. These projects always turn out REALLY great and the kids are very proud of all their hard work! We will celebrate them for finishing their reports with a special animal celebration! This will happen in April. Have fun researching!
And now a little preview of our week....
Math- We are finishing Unit 11 and moving on to measurement at the end of this week. We measure with a lot of non-standard units to get them prepared to use standard units.
Reading- We are reading the story "At Home Around the World" which is a nonfiction story about how houses can all look different in different places but still provide us with the things we need for shelter.
Spelling- We are focusing on the Phonics skill where y makes the long e sound at the end of the word. All of our 6 new words have a double consonant (jackpot letters) with a y that sounds like an e at the end. Please practice every day!
Science- We are wrapping up our dental health unit by taking an inside look at what a tooth would look like if we sliced it open. We had a lot of fun sharing different teeth stories during this unit!
I hope you all enjoyed the long weekend!
