We will be going to the Media Center tomorrow. Please return books, so we can take out new ones.
We can't wait for Friday and our 100th day of school. Thank you to those of you that sent in items for our 100 piece trail mix. We are looking forward to counting by 10's to 100!
We are learning about informational writing. Our first assignment is to write about the life of Harriet Tubman. We created a flow map with bullet points of her live in a time line. Next we are using our ideas to develop our story. We will be working on informational writing over the next few weeks.
In math we are having so much much fun working on different types of graphs. We've done tally graphs, bar graphs and pictographs. We will continue working on graphs for the next few days and then take our chapter test. After graphs we will start our chapter on fractions. I'm so pleased with the way the children are doing on their minute math tests. Keep practicing at home, so they continue to move to the next color.
Next week we will start our study of Teddy Roosevelt. Your child will be bringing home a class project on Tuesday or Wednesday. As part of our study of Teddy Roosevelt and his establishment of National Parks, we'll have your child mail "Traveling Teddy" to a relative or friend that would be willing to help with the project. If you have any questions after you receive the information, please call or email me.
