Good morning, families,
I hope you enjoyed your weekend. My youngest went to the Homecoming Dance on Saturday and I am still stunned that she is old enough for these shenanigans. Time does fly!
Our AC in trailer 6 is still not repaired, but the temperatures are nice enough for us to return to the trailer. The kids were so resilient in dealing with having to work from two trailers last week. I was really proud of them! Thank you to Mrs. Silber for loaning us her fan for the week. Along with one from my house, two from the first grade team, we have lots of air circulation!
This week, your student will be learning common nonfiction text structures. We touched on this in the first quarter, but we are bearing down on it this quarter as we are learning more about reading nonfiction. We have learned the major parts of speech this year (nouns, verbs, adjectives and adverbs). This week, we will be learning about prepositions, including a song about prepositions that will be almost as torturous to hear as hearing your child learning to play the recorder!! We will be doing some experiments in science about physical and chemical weathering and in math we will begin work on multiplicative comparisons (Jane has three times as many pencils and Mike. Mike has 3 pencils. How many does Jane have?)
On Wednesday, we will be visiting the symphony. Please have your child dress nicely. Nice slacks/skirt/dress. No need for sequins or bow ties, just no sports shirts or cut offs, please. We will be back in time for lunch, so no need to send a bag lunch.
Early release Friday!! :)
Thank you,
Stephanie
