Character Connections Word of the week: CARING
A
caring person treats people with kindness and generosity. I show that I
care by being sensitive to people's feelings and helping others in need. Always remember - we become caring
people by doing caring things! Think of
small things that you can do each day at school to show that you care. 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 writing work on opinion writing unit.
Our writers are learning about main idea, supporting details, fact and
opinion and even more! We will
write opinion pieces on topics or texts that state an opinion within
a framework of an organizational structure that provides reasons that support
the opinion and provides a concluding statement. 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!
