Language Arts

As a class we will be reading The Hat by Jan Brett while making connections with our previous story.  The class will also do a fun reader’s theater activity.  We just recently introduced the students to personal narrative writing formats and have been beyond impressed with their ideas and connections to feelings.  We will start to bridge the work from whole group to independent.  We are looking for students to identify who, where and an emotional connection.  Cannot wait to hear about their about their experiences!

Math

Measurement is a blast!  The students have been using terms such as longer/ shorter than, measuring using centimeter cubes and have compared many objects around the room. Next week we will continue with comparing lengths as well a start with data analysis. 

Science

Ms. Shaw will kick off the new year with our physical science unit that focuses on motion! How cool!
