Reading: This week we started our new unit. This unit is called Characters Facing Challenges. We read the story “The Foolish Milkmaid.” Then we looked at the structure of the story and we made inferences about the character Molly in the story. During phonics we are working on long o words.
Writing: Our class wrapped up our informational writing about grasslands. In our new unit we are learning about how to write with the objective of stating our opinion while including evidence from a story to help support our opinion about a book character.
Math: This week we practiced reading and creating graphs. Then we began learning how to solve two step word problems. Please make sure to have your child practice the math facts 0-20 at home as often as possible. Thank you!
Science: Students conducted an experiment to observe what happens when an ice cube is under a heat lamp. We also started to test the materials we will use to help keep our ice cube penguins cold in their zoo habitat. We tested felt, bubble wrap, plastic wrap, aluminum foil, foam sheets, and black trash bags to see which materials kept the thermometer the coolest under the heat lamp.
