Hi Everyone,
Conferences are this week! I’m looking forward to connecting with you all about your child.
Reminders:
- Please fill out this parent/teacher conference survey. if you haven’t yet.
- If you’re interested in purchasing a book for our class library at the book fair, some popular picks I heard from students were:
- Baby Sitters Little Sister: Karen’s Worst Day
- Press Start
- Dragon Masters: Heat of the Lava Dragon
- Goosebumps
- Any series/book your child would like to see in our class library :)
Coming up:
Curriculum:
Math: We started talking about customary units of liquid volume (gallon, quart, pint, cup) and will talk more about metric (liters, milliliters) and weight (pound, ounce, gram, kilogram.) It can be fun to help kids see the connections at home:
-How many ounces of water does your bottle hold? How many cups would that be?
-Do you think this bowl will hold 2 pints or 2 quarts? Why?
-How much do you think this bag of chips weighs? Let’s find the weight on the bag!
Writing: We've been able to write our third and final information book with much more independence. Students chose to type them on Google Slides to create their book. We’ll get some feedback from partners and then finish by editing them.
Reading: Our researchers loved creating their projects to show off all they learned! The next unit we will begin is Test Prep, where we’ll help kids determine what kind of text they’re reading and provide some test taking tips.
Our Project Managers in action!
As always, please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.
