Week 15

Last week, we had a short week.  We heard a story about Oscar, a boy who was blind.  We observed ways blind people communicate and read.  We finished our clay projects.  We will need newspaper or tissue paper to wrap our projects on Thursday.  Thank you to all the parents that helped out with clay projects.  We wrote about our families with STUW format.  We can't wait to make it a book and show you how much improvement all students have made in writing.  

This week, we will be reading "The Best Pet" and discuss the sequence of events.  We will continue retelling the main elements of the the story "The Secret Code".  In math, we will develop fact family houses to understand fact families.  This is the last week of Spectra Art.  We will be writing thank you letters to Jenny for teaching us how to make objects out of clay.  Also, we are finishing our nutrition program this week.  We have learned all the different food groups and how to make healthy choices.  If anyone has food or cooking magazines to make collages, please send them with your child to school by Tuesday.  (Thank you!)    We will begin Social Studies unit on "Changing Through Time".  Students will compare how life has changed.

We only have two days of school next week.  I will not be creating a new blog next week.  I will send one the following week.  Have a great Thanksgiving!!!
