Dear parents,
This week, the students reviewed the dinosaur facts they had learned while reading “Dinosaurs Before Dark”. They also worked on a Dinosaur acrostic poem. The students had a reading comprehension about Ankylosauruses. During writing, they made a four-square graphic organizer predicting what adventures Annie and Jack will have after they returned home to Frog Creek. During Sitton Spelling, the students worked in pairs on a word exploration identifying common patterns for the “long a” sound. Next week, we are looking forward to wrapping up our Dinosaur unit! In Easy Grammar, the students practiced using “its” vs. “it’s” and “their” vs. “they’re” vs. “there” in sentences. During US Math, they were assessed on US money and coins and continued learning about fractions. In Social Studies, the students learned about natural resources and ways to help conserve and protect them. We read and discussed the story, “The Great Kapok Tree”. The students also designed a “Care for the Earth” Poster. During Science, we had a “Blob in a Bottle” experiment which taught students about molecular polarity.
Sincerely,
Miss Miller
