It has been a short yet crazy week back! I had so much
fun hearing from all of the children about their break. We took some time
to wrap up 2013 by discussing some of the memories that stood out the
most. We talked about our New Year’s resolutions and discussed ways that
we felt we could have the best year ever! Weekly reports and spelling
will resume next weekJ
Math: We are currently working on unit 5. In
this unit we practice reading and making picture graphs, bar graphs, and tally
charts. We also continue learning about measurement, place value,
perimeter, and decimals. To practice our multiplication facts we start
out our math time with games to help make learning the facts fun. We will
continue doing timed tests until the end of the year and celebrate in May with
a Sundae party!
Science: We are finishing our unit on forces in
motion. The children had a great time and we learned through many
experiments about forces, motion, friction, inertia, and gravity.
Language Arts: We are reading Traders In Time and
enjoying the tale of two brothers who travel back in time 300 years ago in
Michigan.
During our writing workshop we have and continue to work on
informational writing.
Computer Lab: We continue to practice our typing
skills. We also have been doing activities to practice our math facts!
