Math: In math we have already progressed past Unit One: Naming and Constructing Geometric Figures and today we started Unit 2: Using Numbers and Organizing Data. Everyone did well on the test!
Social Studies: We reviewed the geography of New York state and have now moved on to...
Science: Today we had a lot of fun recognizing the properties of magnets and observing which items magnets stick to and do not stick to. Tomorrow we will continue this process and soon start working with electricity! Pictures will be posted soon! I sent home a parent letter today about electricity.
Reading: In reading we have learned and practiced strategies such as summarizing and predicting, written haikus and similes, and read two stories together.
Writing: Writing today was fun! I gave each student their very own special writer's notebook (and tomorrow we'll decorate them)! We discussed a strategy for when one doesn't know what to write about: think of someone who means a lot to you, write down small moments you've shared with this person, and then draw a thumbnail sketch of one of the moments. This should help you dive right into a wonderful, detailed writing piece!
Walking by Physical Education class today after I dropped the students off, I noticed the students and Mrs. Seldin working really hard to build THIS:
What TEAMWORK!
