Parents & Families.....be sure to check out blog to see what we've been learning about in Room 203!
Here is our weekly newsletter (written collectively by the students):
In Social Studies, we are learning about communities. We learned about and compared 3 types of communities: Urban, Suburban, and Rural. We used a Venn Diagram to compare them. This week we read a book called City Mouse Country Mouse and we wrote about if we wanted to live in the city or the country.
In Math we did our first TIMS Lab lesson called Kind of Beans. We learned that the population is a whole group, and a sample is just a small part of the population. We have been practicing our addition facts.
In Reader’s Workshop, we’ve set up comfortable book nooks in our classroom & we read in them everyday. We learned about finding ‘just-right’ books to read during Reader’s Workshop. To see if it’s a just right book, we use the 5-finger test!
In Writer’s Workshop we are writing personal narratives or true stories! We learned some strategies to help us get started writing. We can think about a person who is special to us, or a place that is special to us & write about a small moment we shared with that person or at that place.
In P.E. we are doing fitness testing. It has been very tiring!
Kennedy Singers, our after-school chorus with Mrs. Kesler started this week. Kennedy Singers will meet every Thursday. We are going to have a concert in 5 weeks for our families!
This week we took our MAP tests and today we start going down to the Reading Room!
This weekend, Speedy will be going home with Joshua. Have a great weekend! ☺
