April 7-11, 2014
Math: This week we will continue our study of measurement. We will be learning to measure with "inchworms",
baby steps and Frog jumps. Non-standard measurement prepares
students to use standard and metric measurement in 2nd grade and on. Measuring thing at home helps students to create meaningful
experiences with measurement. Have your child help plan the garden this
year. How many foot steps does each plant need to grow? How much
water should we give each plant? How tall is our plant when we put it in the ground? How tall does it grow over time? Enjoy measuring!
Reading and Writing Workshop: This week in Reading and Writing workshop, we will be reading
Expository texts and learning about the Research process. We will apply this knowledge when we begin
our class Research project on Chicks!
After that, the students will be picking their own topic to research.
Word Study:
Sent home Monday
Science: This week in science we will continue our Animals unit. We will focus on Birds this week. We will learn about the body parts of a bird
and how the bird uses them to survive in their habitat. We will learn about the life cycle of the
bird. We will also learn about how a
bird depends on the things around it to survive. This is called interdependence.
Habit #3 Put First Things First: I spend my time on things that are most
important. I set priorities. I work first then play.
