Here's what we're working on this week:
Language - Reading: shared and guided reading will continue to focus on non-fiction and report writing.
- Writing/Science: We will carry on researching animals for report writing. Students had a week or two to choose an animal. Now we will begin how to find information and how to make simple notes. Last week students wrote about the best part of themselves. Ask you child about this. We'll have a new bulletin board display coming to showcase their work.
Math: - We will wrap up money this week with a few more activities and assessment tasks. I began teaching area last week. Students had a lot of fun with this. We will carry on with area either this week or next.
Science: Materials & Simple Machines cont. Last week, students made cars out of junk to learn about wheel and axels.
Social Studies: The tradition of Easter. Who celebrates Easter and why? I hope to sneak in a craft either this week or next.
* Please note that this Friday is Earth Hour Day at Clairlea. The photocopiers will be shut off for the day. I will only be doing hands-on activities and activities that use junk, or used paper. Please remind your child that the spelling quiz will be on Thursday this week, since it involves our spelling quiz/word study photocopied sheet.
