April 14-18, 2014
Math: This week we will begin learning about fractional parts. We will learn what a fraction is first off,
and then we will talk about equal parts of a whole and then even halves and
fourths. If you find the opportunity to
talk about fractional parts with your child at home, that would be great! Any time you can find the chance to relate
math to real life is awesome!
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:
Will come home on
Tuesday!
Science: This week in science we will continue our Animals unit. We will focus on Mammals this week. We will learn about the mammals’ body parts,
life cycle, how mammals depend on the different things in their habitat, and last,
we will learn what makes mammal babies so different from all other
animals’.
Habit #3 Put First Things First: I spend my time on things that are most
important. I set priorities. I work first then play.
Holy
moly! We had a lot of chicks hatch and
we had so much FUN!
