Hi!   What a great week of learning we had this week!  We have worked hard and our day flies by!  This week in STEAM we made boats that had to float after I put 10 pennies in the boat!   If you haven't checked SeeSaw, you may want to see the fabulous boat your child made today!  Ask them why their group chose the materials they used. 

Here is what we are learning next week:

Reading Workshop-This week we will look at questioning.  We will learn that readers ask questions before reading, while reading, and even after they read!  All of our reading jobs this week will involve questioning strategies. 

Writing Workshop-   We will continue to focus on responding to our reading in our Reader's notebooks and we will begin writing with our  writing partners.  

Science/ Social Studies-      Please have your child bring in a small object from home! This object could be  a special shell, rock,  coin, or trophy. Have fun with it!  We will describe our object using physical properties on Monday!

Math-   We will begin our first unit on addition.  We will begin to look at two digit addition this week. We will focus on different strategies we can use to help us solve problems such as number lines, hundreds chart, part/part/ whole, and counting on.  

Important News:   If you have extra earbuds or earphones for your child to use at school, please send them in.  We only have 8 headsets in our class and we have many apps that involve sound. We will keep the earphones in a bag labeled with your child's name.  

Thanks for sending in STEAM supplies.  Please keep the supplies coming since we will do a STEAM every Friday. 

Class Celebrations:    We are one compliment away from another reward! Please continue to encourage great behavior at home.
