Dear Parents:
Happy Friday! I hope you all had a wonderful week!
We are running low on some general supplies. If you could donate an item or two, it would be greatly appreciated: Tissues, markers (most of ours are dry), pencils
Next Wednesday and Thursday, I will not be in school. I will be attending a professional development in Bedford, NH. Felicia Motherway will be the substitute.
Here is a re-cap of what we did this week:
Math: We continued our measurement unit. Students measured pictures of fish with inch tiles. Each type of fish had to be a certain length for it to be a keeper. On Thursday, students designed their own fish and decided how long it needed to be to be a keeper.
Reading: Students participated in their weekly reading centers. This week, I read two more Piggie and Elephant books: We Are in a Book, and I Love My New Toy!.
Writing: Students began writing their own Piggie and Elephant books. They started to organize the main components of a story on a graphic organizer. Next week, students will begin writing the dialogue for their plays.
Science: Students continued to explore what transparency, translucent, & opaque mean with light experiments.
Social Studies: I have been reading Chinese folktales to the students during read aloud. We have also been reading non-fiction books about China. Students have been comparing and contrasting Chinese culture w/ American culture. This week, students made beautiful koi fish with crayon-resist.
Have a wonderful long weekend! Andrea
