 Today in social studies we learned about what it is like to live in Ukraine! Ask your child what they know is different and the same between living in a village and living in the city in Ukraine.

In math we answered some measurement questions in our journals. Next week we will start learning about perimeter.

We edited some paragraphs on the smart board to show the importance of having strong arguments in an opinion paragraph. Hopefully next week students will write a paragraph that demonstrates all the things that they learned! We also read the next couple of chapters in our novel study.


REMINDERS/UPDATES

-please remember to send a lock to school with your child if they are riding a bike or scooter to the school.

 I hope everyone had a restful and relaxing long weekend! In math, we worked on regrouping in place value (when there is more than 10 in the ones, tens, an hundreds, you have to "regroup" to make the number make sense). Ask your child about the activity we did with the cards and their math journals today. In social studies, we began learning about the land in Tunisia. When looking at Google Earth, we noticed that the Northern point of Tunisia is all green (so it must be forest or something!), the more central areas are mountainous and the south eastern corner is desert land. Ask your child what else they learned! We learned and practiced our s-blends today, which include an s followed by another consonant (sc, sl, st, etc). Have a nice evening!

Happy Wednesday! Today in science we brainstormed a list of ways to protect our ears. Each student chose one, and made a poster about it including the way to keep their hearing safe, and how it would help. In math we continued learning about how to solve for a missing number in an equation. Our show what you know is a little long, so we will work on it tomorrow and Friday. In language arts we learned about summarizing and completed a class summary about the story "When I Was Eight". Then students created their own summaries about the novel study How to Eat Fried Worms now that they are done the story. They made notes today, and tomorrow will turn it into a cohesive piece of writing!! We also did some more work with alliteration today and the kids have been having a great time coming up with their own tongue twisters! We had our last fire drill of the year today and the students did an excellent job, exiting and entering the building quickly and quietly a well as remaining qui...

Tomorrow we will be doing our show what you know for 3D Shapes! Next week, we will be moving onto multiplication! Earlier this week in science, we learned about how animal mothers meet their offspring's needs. Today, we learned all about animal mothers who abandon their babies and the reasons why they would do so. While sometimes it seemed a little bit harsh, we realized that the reasons for doing so were actually quite logical and reasonable! We also began to learn about different types of habitats and will be doing some research on those next week. We wrote our story outlines today to come up with a logical sequence of events for the beginning, middle, and end of our stories. We did a practice run activity, using picture prompts to create a beginning, middle and end for someone else's story and the students did a fabulous job! The first Flames game is this evening - Go Flames Go!
