February 22nd Newsletter

Dear Parents and Guardians,

This week in reading we will be taking a look at realism and fantasy.  We will be creating story maps and comparing and contrasting animal fantasy stories.  We will be discussing what real things the animals do and what things the animals do that are fantasy.  We will also be creating our own animals doing something real and something that is fantasy.  In writing, we will be finishing and sharing our story writing on our version of The Mitten and we will continue story writing the rest of the third quarter.  Our chunk this week will be -ing and in ring.

This week in math we will be analyzing data and creating graphs.  We will also be learning about different shapes, including polygons, spheres, cylinders, rectangular prisms, pyramids, cones, and cubes.  Look for the Unit 7 Family Letter along with Home Links 6.12, 7.1 and an addition practice sheet to come home this week.  Please keep Home Link 7.1 at home for extra practice.

We will be continuing our study of the United States.  We will learn more about our countries symbols and past presidents.

The science fair is quickly approaching!  It is on March 3rd.  Make sure to sign up if you are interested in participating!  More information and the form for signing up is located in the Thursday folder.
