Tower Garden: Several students who will be in town for the holiday wanted to bring home a seed/fertilizer starter kit for our tower garden. The seeds are in the kit and just need to be placed in water! No soil is required. We have been approved to get another tower garden after the new year and we are so excited!!! Thank you for helping us prepare our seedlings.Students can bring these back to school after the break to plant in our new tower garden.
Character Connections Word of the week: TRUSTWORTHY
Trustworthiness means
other people can count on you to do the right thing. I show trustworthiness when others count on
me to do what I say I will do. I show
trustworthiness by always returning items I have borrowed. Go TEAM!
Please check your child's
Blue Take Home Folder each day to check for mail, homework, and important

Language Arts:
In writer’s workshop, we
are continuing our writing work on small moments and personal narratives.
Our writers are adding in dialogue and onomatopoeia to spice their
writing up even more! We continue to
focus on incorporating sensory details into our writing. We are also
learning to add leads and endings to our narratives. In reader's
workshop, we are learning to take charge of our own comprehension.
Finally, in our independent reading time, we are using all of our reading
skills to help us improve our reading stamina. We are working hard!
Social Studies:
We continue to think like
geographers as we learn how to read maps. We are learning about map
grids, hemispheres, latitude and longitude, keys/legends, political maps,
population maps an creating our own map grid, key/legend.
Science:
Our study of force and
motion is an exciting one! We are
learning about how objects change position when they move; the effects that
mass, friction, gravity, and magnetism have on motion. We are also learning the difference between
balanced and unbalanced forces while incorporating these scientific words into
our vocabulary: force, friction,
gravity, magnetism, motion, position and speed.
***Often we post things on our class SeeSaw accounts as well on
our Google Classroom accounts. Ask your child to show you what he/she has
done so far!
