Red Ribbon Week
Red Ribbon Week
This week is Red
Ribbon Week. We will talk about a
healthy life style, eating healthy, exercising, and staying away from all the
harmful things that could hurt our body. As a whole school, we will do
different activity each day to show our support for a healthy and happy life.
Monday: Red Ribbon Day- we
will start to wear our red ribbon today for the rest of the week.
Tuesday: Pair up and make good choices (find a friend and dress up as twins)

Wednesday: Sock It To Drugs Day (we will wear silly/crazy socks to
school)
Thursday: Good character is our super power (we will wear
superhero clothing)
Friday: Rally In Red Day (We will wear as many red items as we
can).
Here is what we will be doing this week:
READING
We will continue our study of expository/non-fiction text. As a class we discussed the features of nonfiction such as real photos, table of contents, glossary, caption, labels, index, diagram, and maps. We concluded that the purpose of reading nonfiction text is to learn! We also learned the differences between fiction and nonfiction. One difference is that we read a fiction text from beginning to end. However, we do not have to so the same thing when we read a non-fiction. We can read the parts of nonfiction text which holds the information we want to know, or the information that is important to us. This week we will be reading texts about bats!
WRITING
We will continue writing non-fiction. Our focus this week will be writing facts about bats. We are learning how to draw careful diagrams like scientist and label the parts. Our goal is to write these facts so we can teach others about what we have learned.

MATH
This week we will learn to tell time. We will learn to tell time to the hour using a digital and an analog clock. We will learn about the hands, the hour hand (the short hand), and the minute hand(the long hand) and how they move: The minute hand makes one full turn while the hour hand moves slowly from one numeral to another.

SOCIAL STUDIES
Maps and globes are the focus this week in Social Studies. As a class we will compare the two and learn how each is important. We will also be learning about where we are located in the big scheme of the world, starting with our street address and moving outwardly to the entire world.
Habit #5 Seek First to Understand, Then
to be Understood: I listen
to others without interrupting. I try to
see things from their viewpoint. I am
confident in voicing my own ideas.
