It’s amazes me how quickly time is going. We have had a fun and exciting start to 2010!
Language Arts: We have been working on adding more details and examples in our writing. You may hear your child say that they are zooming in on details and writing a seed story. During small group instruction and read aloud, we are reviewing and practicing the use of our comprehension strategies. We have done writing on post-it notes, rereading, questioning, and book discussion.
Social Studies: We continue learning many new things about Michigan. I can’t believe the amazing history that surrounds us. We have recently completed our research on Michigan and we completed posters about Michigan.
Math: We have been learning about segments, rays, and lines. We are also learning about angles and relating turns going clockwise and counter-clockwise. The children are doing very well with this. They are also doing a great job on their multiplication timed tests. Keep doing what your doing!
Science: We just finished our unit on the earth and are moving on to a unit about light and shadows. Mrs. Len is also tying this into her art lessons!
