Next week…

Literature

We will be reading a classic “Days with Frog and Toad”, we love all of their adventures! Students will be working on character traits, comprehension, and creating mental images as the story is being read to them.

Math

We have been having lots of fun measuring the classroom! We have made centimeter rulers and have had a chance to measure with meter sticks. Next week not only will be we measuring objects but will be comparing their lengths.

Science

Continuing on with our states of matter unit. The students will get many opportunities to have hands on investigations as we focus on our first state of matter, solids. I can’t wait to hear about their discoveries!

History

We have read about the various parts of our community as well as understanding that a community is where people live, work, play, and solve problems. We will be comparing various types of communities next week as we read chapter 2.

I cannot believe we are already well into September. The year is off to a great start and I look forward to seeing more and more growth within your child each and every day!
