Cooler temperatures are here and the children (and teachers) are savoring every moment of recess! We have had a successful week of learning and fun!
Calendar:
***It's Readathon Week! Your child will not bring home his/her regular reading log, instead, you will see a blue readathon folder. After that, the reading log will stay at school and we will log nightly reading each morning.
*** Friday is Creek Exploration Day! If you are available to volunteer from 9:30-10:00 or 10:00 to 10:30, send me an email! We need help with supervision and walking students in small groups to the creek for the lesson.
*****If your child has knee high rain boots, send them in. If not Mrs. Ericson will have some for the students to wear.
Curriculum:
Math: We finished our work with rounding numbers and we are moving into multiplication!
We will be using a 3-step framework called the concrete-representational-abstract (CRA) approach. This week and next week , we will focus on building models using objects. This process will take time, but in the end your child will understand multiplication.
Science: We are in the midst of our Habitat research. Students are learning about plant and animal adaptations in the regions of Georgia and they are creating expert presentations on their group topics.
Reading: Book Clubs have begun! Students are working on making 'jots' to express their predictions, questions, and connections in order to discuss their reading.
ELA: We have begun working on the doubling rule in spelling and will move to ways to make/spell long vowel sounds.
Art: Students are finishing their yearbook cover art designs and will be making masks next.
