HI!  

What a great week of learning!  Today we had a guest speaker. A civil engineer came to talk to us about building bridges and roadways.  Our class had some fantastic questions and we will use what we learned when we build our structures next week.  We formed our "building" groups and they came up with a group or company name.   Ask your child what is the name of their company and why they chose that name.  

Reading Workshop- We will focus on using inferences to help us understand the text.  This  causes us to read beyond the text to figure out what the author is trying to tell us.  Later in the week, we will focus on visualization or using the author's words to help us "paint" a picture of what is happening in the story. 

Writing Workshop-  We are going to look at punctuation and making sure our story has a beginning, middle, and end. 

Science/ Social Studies-  This week we will continue our Project Based Learning .  We will construct our towers and bridges next week!  If you want to send in supplies, we will definitely put them to good use!  :) 

 
Math-   We will continue our unit on measurement. Next week we will focus on inches, centimeters, feet, yards, and meters!  We will have a great time measuring objects in our room AND we will even measure things outside! 

Class Celebrations:    Tyler H. lost a tooth this week and we were able to add his  name to our tooth graph! Elisa  will  celebrate her  birthday this week!  We hope she has a very Happy Birthday!  Harper  is our Star of the Week!  Congratulations Harper!

Have a super weekend!

Mrs. King
