Next week and the week after the students will read the book, How to Make a Snow Person. The students will: sequence events & recognize and use statements, questions and exclamations. We will also read a variety of other “How To…” books. The students will be writing their own How To… books. We will end out study by making a rootbeer float and then writing about How To Make a Rootbeer Float.
Math
Over the next few weeks we will be working on subtraction strategies. Look for packets with the strategy song & flashcards to come home!
Words of the Week
This week the students will practice words with the -ing ending. Example words: king, ring, sing, swing, thing, wing, calling, falling, kicking, talking, playing, walking. Each week the students are getting more accurate with the dictation portion of the test. Some students are forgetting to begin each sentence with a capital letter and end with a period. Please have your child practice writing the words of the week in sentences.
Science
The students will continue to learn about the earths rotation and revolution.
