This week the students have been working on procedural writing in Language.  As a class, we wrote a procedure on: How To Blow Your Nose.  The students were introduced to the words we use when writing a procedure such as first, next, then, after that, and finally.  You can have your child make procedures at home using these same starters.  Some examples could be how to set the dinner table, how to make a bed, or how to brush your teeth.  The students continue to work on patterning in math.  They have been making their own patterns using different attributes and different pattern rules.  Ask your child what type of pattern they made with their snake. We will be wrapping up our unit on patterning next week.  This week we also started our new science unit on Energy by watching movie on what energy is.  The Scientist in School will be a great kick off to the unit.
