We had an amazing week of learning that ended with practicing drills (tornado, fire and lock down drill). In Social Studies, we were exploring maps, planning trips and discussing our natural resources. The children brought home the Michigan map project (which is due on Thursday). Feel free to decorate the paper anyway that you choose. In math we have completed Unit 2 Geometry. There will be a test on Tuesday and the review will be completed in class on Monday. The children will need to know the following terms:
- perimeter
- line and line segment
- quadrilateral
- square
- rectangle
- perpendicular
- parallel
In writing, we have finished our first published piece. The kids stories are AMAZING! They are starting to include inner thoughts in their pieces. Ty was extremely brave to allow us to use his paper for peer response. We read his selection twice, found a terrible trait (or something to improve), provided examples, applied our suggestions and told why. Ask the kids to sing you the song. During reading we were talking about expository text features, which fit in nicely with our plant adaptation projects.
Next week, we will have the M.E.A.P. on Tuesday and Wednesday morning. Please make sure that your child has a good breakfast on these days. They are prepared and think that is will be easy because we did talk about what to expect.
