I can't believe that they year is already half over! As we charge into 2013 I have made it a New Year's goal to be more diligent in updating my class blog weekly.
It was great to see so many of you at conferences recently. I hope you had a chance to look around at all your child's hard work. If not don't worry, in addition to blogging more regularly I am going to try and post photos of our class projects as well!
Reading: In reading we have been focusing on non-fiction reading skills and comprehension through space related texts. The students have loved reading about other planets and starting their own research. In the coming weeks the students will be completing their own planet research report.
Writing: In writing we have continued to work on persuasive, information, and narrative writing. Each student wrote a letter to Mrs. Samerigo explaining why we should or should not have a Valentine's Day party. They are turned out SUPER cute!
Social Studies: We just just finished our study of basic economics. You should see their tests coming home this coming Tuesday! We will be taking a break from Social Studies to start our study of living things.
Mathematics: Please continue to encourage your child to practice their math facts at home to help them gain fluency with basic addition and subtraction facts. In our current math unit we are going to begin exploring fractions.
A special THANK YOU to all parents that helped and donated to our Let's Be Friends party on February 14th. The kids had a great time!
As always, please let me know if there is anything I can do to help support your child's academic success at home.
