Hello everyone,  

As for an update this week, much of it has been our regular routine with printing and the morning meeting.  We also continue to work on Data Management in Math and The Seasons in Science. In Math, the students are surveying their friends and recording the data using tally marks.  Ask your child when to draw the line diagonally for tally marks. They then use this data to create bar graphs.  Ask your child if they can remember the different parts to a graph.  In Science, the students worked in groups to discuss different activities, clothes, and signs for the four seasons.  We also discussed the months, weather and holidays associated with each season.  We will look further intro these concepts next week. 

*Your child should be bringing home his/her poetry book every Friday to read with you.  Each week we look at a new poem and learn new reading strategies.  This week, we looked at words that rhyme and plural words.  Ask your child about the words they circle and the follow up activities that correspond with each poem. Please remember to bring the poetry book back on Mondays, so we can learn our next poem.

I hope everyone enjoys the long weekend and has a wonderful Thanksgiving.
