January 26-30, 2015

Congratulations
to Ender Dockrey!  He was a 1st Grade winner in this past week’s Science Fair.  We are so proud of you Ender!

READING and WRITING
This week we will continue our unit on research.
 So far we have learned how to ask questions about topics that we are interested in, and look in different places such as books, e-books, internet and etc to find the information.  As we continue doing more research and asking more questions, we will learn how to record our information. We will think about the main idea and the most important information and take notes in an organized form.  
MATH
We will continue our unit in geometry.
 We will explore how two-dimensional figures can be decomposed into or constructed from other two-dimensional figures (for example two triangles can make a diamond or a rhombus). Two dimensional figures with or without curved sides can also be sorted into different groups based on their characteristics or attributes.

SOCIAL STUDIES
This week we will learn about families wants and basic needs, and how these needs are being met through jobs. We will learn about how technology has changed our lives comparing to the past.
 People communicate differently, have different ways of entertainment and hold different jobs comparing to the past due to technology.

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!
