During this shortened week, we wrapped up our fantasy unit. We
also practiced using a new reading log template (note that this template includes new prompts!). After break, we will start a mini-unit on folktales,
fables, and trickster tales. This week, we also concluded our math unit on area
and perimeter.
In honor of Presidents’ Day, students wrote about what they
would do as president during our writing block. We can’t wait to share these
pieces with you at our writers’ celebration on February 26th!
In science, we discussed the two ways the Earth moves in our
solar system—rotating and revolving. We talked about how the Earth’s position
in relation to the sun contributes to the seasons and our experience of day and
night. In your child’s homework folder, you will find directions for a project on the solar system. Each student has been assigned a planet. After break, we
will start collecting research in school about this planet. At home, students
will create a model of their assigned planet.
This week we welcomed a new student teacher, Mr. Leong. Mr.
Leong will be joining us on Thursdays throughout the months of March and April.
