Our science work this week focused on being weather watchers. We learned about 4 observations that can help determine the weather. (Appearance of the sky, clothing being worn, movement of things such as flags and trees, and if anything is falling from the sky.) We then used this information and applied it to the seasonal weather shifts. We then made a model of a tree now, and then made a "claim" and drew a model of what that same tree might look like at the end of the fall season.
Our reading and social studies work was about the places we live and the country of India. The children are full of facts about India! Your children did a great job on their spelling assessments. We are still working on understanding the components of a sentence. You will see on the assessment that I have marked the items your child was able to do, and what he/she is working on. We will "practice" dictation for another week, and then I will begin to grade that portion of the assessment. We will be reading about pets next week. During our study of India, we will connect this study to the animals that make India their home. Our Halloween parade will be on October 31st. Children are invited to bring their costumes to school. We will change into costumes at school. Children should be able to see easily out of their costumes, be of proper length to avoid tripping, and should not depict blood, guts, or gore. Accessories are okay as long as they are not weapons. Be sure to label everything. The parade will begin at 1:00. We will have a few treats afterwards. I have a new tab on my website called Sign Ups. This is new, and I'm hoping that it will be an easy way to sign up for things. I've made a sign up on that tab for the Halloween Party. You can sign up by commenting. I'm hoping that this works! The Halloween Party sign up will be its trial run! Comments are closed.
