This is an important question we'll be asking in science this week as we learn about severe weather patterns and how to stay safe. Students will learn about many different hazardous types of weather and what kinds of dangerous weather can happen here in our local area.
In reading this week we will study the letters: Uu, Ww and Xx. New sight words are: is, have, like. Students will begin to use their sight word knowledge and sound knowledge to independently read sentences. We will focus on the reading strategy of using illustrations to help us understand a text.
We will finish up our chapter on numbers to 10 in math with a focus of understanding number order. Our next chapter is all about graphing. Here we will collect data and graph it, using our numerical understanding to predict patterns and understand information.
Students are working hard at practicing songs for our Christmas program. We also listen to different types of music each week and respond in our listening journals.
Each week, we learn and practice many games in small groups and on iPads to help us practice letter and number skills. We often pick students to lead these games to help develop communication skills and confidence.
In art this week we will learn about concentric circles by studying the artistic style of Kandinsky..
We hope you are enjoying the fall weather like we are, remember to help your child make good choices for what they wear to school each day so they will be comfortable.
Thankful for you,
Mrs. Luoma
