Library day: Books due by 8:00 am
All first grade teachers are out due to district business.
Friday: Shamrock' n Roll (8:40-9:30). Filed Trip to Zach.
READING AND WRITING
This week we will continue reading poems and use strategies that help us to understand poetry better. We will work on visualizing and making a mental picture in our mind. This strategy can also help us to understand other genres such as stories/fictions better. As we read the author's/poet's description about the character's look, actions and so on, we will try to picture them in our mind so we can have a better understanding of the poem/story. Poets often use sensory language such as words describing the sound, look, smell, taste or feel of something. Sensory words help the readers create a better picture in their mind as they read poetry. In writing, we will continue to write short poems.

MATH
This week we will learn about 3-D shapes. We will identify three-dimensional figures such as spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including cubes), and triangular prisms and describe their attributes using geometric language such as flat surface, curved surface, having corners (vertices) or not any corners, being able to stack or not. We will look at everyday objects around us and compare them to the 3-D shapes that we are learning about.

SCIENCE
In science we will continue learning about living things. Our focus will be on mammals and their external characteristics (body parts and cover). We will learn how these external characteristics determine where the mammals live, what they eat and how they move. We will also learn about interdependency and see how animals and plants in one habitat depend on each other to survive meet their needs.
