Here’s what’s going on this week in class.
Reading: We will be wrapping up our Nature Detective theme unit with the book Where Does the Trail Lead? The class will continue to work on main ideas, supporting details, and classifying facts. The students will also be finishing (hopefully) writing their instructions.
In math, we will be finishing up Chapter 2, which was all about number sense. The students will be tested on Friday for the chapter.
In Science, our theme of the Human Body is coming to an end. The students have enjoyed learning about health, nutrition, and exercise. Keep bringing in those healthy snacks! Next, we will be doing a unit on Communities in Social Studies.
Welcome to our Middle States committee that will be visiting us for four days!
Important Dates:
Wednesday, 10/24/07: Dismissal at 12 noon.
Monday, 10/29/07: No School
In reading, the class will read What Lives in a Shell? and continue to discuss main ideas and supporting details. We will carry this over into our creative writing to impove upon our paragraphs. The class will continue to learn about the different types of sentences such as statements, questions, and exclamations.
In math, the class is learning number sense. This includes activities on place value, greater than/less than and number order.
In Science, the class will be finishing up the Human Body unit. They have really enjoyed learning about nutrition and exercise.
Finally, the sacrament of Confirmation is being discussed, along with its partner Baptism. We will be finishing this chapter at the end of the week. We will be tested on it next week.
Phew! What a busy week (and what a short one) we have! In reading, the class has started a new theme, which is focusing on non-fiction books. This theme will give the students the skills to navigate non-fiction books (which are generally more difficult to comprehend) successfully.
In math, the class will be finishing the first chapter and tested on the material on Thursday.
In Religion, the children will be reviewing the sacrament of Baptism. We had a great discussion today about godparents and Baptisms that the students have attended.
It is Fire Safety Week so we will be going over some safety tips. The class will also be making a poster of “How to Escape From a Fire.” It should be fun to see the results!
Finally, in Science, the students will continue learning about nutrition! I have encouraged the students to pack a healthy snack every day this week.
We had a great time at Alpine and Raffeto Orthodontists on Friday. The class learned a lot about dental health and braces. They even watched a magic show.
Another busy week is ahead of us for Room 103!
This week, the class will be finishing up the Pet Show Today! theme unit in reading. We will continue learning about the parts of a sentence and short vowel sounds. I hope to also do some more homonym activities.
In math, the class will be learning about fact families. In Science, we will start the next chapter of the Human Body which is Nutrition. Time for healthy snacks!
