When Do Animals Sleep?

This is the question our students will answer during the Snooze Fest.  We will learn about nocturnal and diurnal animals and why they live that way.  Students will go through their school day experiencing what it is like to learn in the light and in the dark. Then we will have a big surprise where we will be the characters in a story that involves our animals.  Our 8th grade friends will help by doing our writing as students recall story sequence. 

In reading we will dictate a story recalling the beginning, middle and end.  Students will study the sight words: the, to, little and use them in a sentence.  Our letter review of the week is over Ee, Bb and Pp.

Students will finish up learning to write numbers through 10 in math.  We will then focus on comparing groups and ordering numbers to 10.

In science we will study the forms of water and how they relate to different types of weather.  Students will do an experiment to observe all three forms.

We are beginning to practice songs for our Christmas programs in music!  Students will continue their weekly study of classical pieces, recording their observations in their listening journals.

This week in art we will study Pacific Northwest totem poles, understanding the importance they play in the local culture.

It's sure to be a week of surprises, discovery and fun...the best kind of learning!
