This week in Reading and Writing Workshop...

We will continue our learning about nonfiction text.  We know Readers read to learn! Writers can also write to teach readers something they know a lot about!  We will examine the features of nonfiction and create a list of ways readers use these features.  We will discuss the purpose behind why readers read nonfiction...to LEARN!  We will continue our learning, reading and writing about Bats! We already knew a lot about this topic!

This week in Math workshop...

We will begin learning about telling time to the hour! We will practice telling time on an analog clock.  We will discuss the hands of the clock and what the numbers mean.  Then we will match the time on an analog clock to the number time on a digital clock.  

Next week (Monday and Tuesday) we are going to do a fun graphing activity.  If a few families could donate a bag of candy (either one kind of candy or a bag with different kinds) that would be fantastic.  We are going to do some real life learning with candy! Thanks in advance! *we will not be eating the candy at school but I will send it home!

This week in Science...

We will be exploring magnets! We will learn all about how they attract and repel objects.  We will have many hands on opportunities to explore this fun unit! 

This week in Social Studies...

We will learn how technology has changed through time.  We will talk about ways we use technology today!

Our Life Skill of the week is Patience! Patience is the ability to wait calmly for someone or something.  This is a great Life Skill for Mrs. Caballero this week!

That's all for now! Have a great week!
