Hello there,
Please scroll down the page to see photos of last week's science experiment. I do my best to take photos when possible to share what we're doing in class with families.
Here's what we're working on this week:
Language: We are on the home stretch of our autobiographies. I hope to have published work on the bulletin board outside our class by the end of next week or early the following week. These stories will induce equal measures of laughter and tears when you have a chance to read them.
Last week we began synonyms. We will keep working on them this week.
As part of reading comprehension, we will be learning about settings in fiction and how there can be multiple settings in any given text.
Math: We will continue working on double digit addition and subtraction (grade 2s), and triple digit for the grade 3s. The 3s will also be working on rounding numbers. The grade 2s will continue working on the concept of "greater than/less than" using various strategies including arrays.
Social Studies: Mme. Demeter (your child's wonderful art teacher) has a school-wide project happening this year involving learning about the world. Our class will be looking at Southeast Asia. This week we will begin by locating the countries that are in this area. We will make predictions about the weather based on what we've already learned in mapping.
Science: We finally have enough pop bottles to begin our pop bottle plant terrariums. Each child will make one to learn about the needs of plants and how the water cycle works.
Have a great week!
E. Hawkins
