Next Week:

Literature

I am looking forward to our read aloud and discussion based learning next week. I will be reading various fairytales to the class, one of them being Beauty and the Beast! After our stories we will be completing activities involving idioms, morals, and key vocabulary for comprehension.

Science

We will continue to read about the rainforest. We have learned about the different layers and the plants and animals found within each. The students will have a chance to research an animal of choice. I cannot wait for them to find some fascinating facts about the special animals found in this habitat.

Social Studies

Ms. Denny has an exciting and enriched economics unit planned.  She will introduce the students to a classroom economy, which will take place over the next few weeks.  Along with the concepts of the class economy students will be introduced to the key terms such as budget, savings, supply, and demand. I am looking forward to the content and hands on activities involved during our economics unit. 

Math

Moving on from measurement and onto unit counting and money!
