Dear Parents and Guardians,
This week we will be starting an author study on Nicola Davies who writes narrative stories that have facts interwoven in them. Her books have amazing illustrations and they are so engaging for the kids! Make sure to ask your child to what their favorite Nicola Davies book is! Additionally, we will work on editing our work during writer's workshop. We will be focusing on capitalizing the first word of every sentence and ending every sentence with a punctuation mark. We will also learn about proper nouns and capitalizing any proper nouns that we use in our writing. The students will also continue to focus on short and long vowels in their pocket chart center.
This week in math we will begin our geometry unit! The students will learn about plane shapes and their attributes (number of sides and vertices), discuss similarities and differences between shapes, make polygons out of straws and pattern blocks, learn about solid shapes and their attributes (number of sides, edges and vertices). Look for a back to back homework sheet to come home tomorrow.
In social studies this week, the students will continue to learn about our neighbor to the north, Canada.
