Happy Monday!
This week we are reading an informational text, Super Storms, and practicing how to determine the main idea of the text and paragraphs by looking at the details.
Our spelling words this week have wh, th, tch, ch, and sh. Our spelling test will be on Friday.
We read a passage Telephones Then and Now and will be writing an informative paragraph comparing the two. We had a great conversation in class about phones today!
We have begun Unit 4 in math which is about measuring using inches, feet, and yards. We will have the unit test before Christmas break.
The weather will be getting cold again so please make sure your child comes to school with a jacket/coat. Also, please, please, please put your child's name in their coats!
Next week we will begin our Holidays Around the World Unit! We will be learning where customs we have here in America came from. We will be studying Germany, England, Sweden, and Mexico. In conjunction with this unit students have an opportunity to study a country on their own and make a presentation to the class about what they learned. They can also bring in a food or ornament from their country, dress in a native costume, make a diorama, or invite a speaker from their country to speak to the class.The information about this project will come home with your child tomorrow. Students will need to get their country approved by me so that we don't have 10 reports on the same country. Also students will need to choose a country other than the 4 we will study in class. Although this is an optional project, I hope that everyone will participate. It is so much fun for them to learn about other countries and it is a great experience to get in front of your peers and speak. Please look for more information tomorrow!
Have a wonderful week!
