We had a great week
back to school! It was so nice to hear about all the fun things that you did
over the winter break!
Thank you to everyone who came and cheered for us for our Fairy Tale parade. Didn't your children look adorable?!

READING
In Reading we will work on expository/non-fiction books. We will review the features of expository such as headings and photographs with captions instead of illustrations (mostly) and think about the author's purpose in writing expository texts. Authors of expository texts are experts in that area and they know so much about a topic that they can teach others about that topic. Their main purpose is to inform and teach. We will learn that as readers we always need to figure out the main idea in a non-fiction book. The title and the bold headings along with reading the text and finding the important information that the author is trying to teach will all give us hints about the main idea.

WRITING
In writing, we will start writing expository texts. We will make a list of things that we are expert at and know a lot and choose from our list to write about a topic. Our main purpose is to teach and inform others.
MATH
In math, we will still be working on addition strategies including bridge to ten. Our main goal is for students to get familiar to and practice all strategies and use as different tools in solving math problems. While students will practice more addition facts, they will also get more fluent in problem solving. We will continue and review doubles, number line, using ten-frames, and bridge to ten.
SCIENCE
This week in science we will learn about seasons, day and night. We will learn about the characteristics of each season and how the weather changes in each season. We will discuss the relative temperature in each season and how the length of day and night is different in different seasons.

HABIT #7: SHARPEN THE SAW: I take care of myself. I spend time with family and friends. I find meaningful ways to help others.
THANK
YOU!
Thank you for remembering to send your children to school with
warm clothes and coats. Sometimes, even
on cold days, we will still go outside and run around just for 10 minutes. The kiddos do well with inside recess most of
the time, but there are days that they need to get outside and run out some of
that energy!
