Week of June 17

Dear Parents,

We finished our ELA MAPS testing and this week we will be working on our Math MAPS testing.  

This week we had the opportunity to work with our older friends in acting out short plays.  Ask your child what play they acted out. 

In science we were working on animal characteristics.  Your child had the opportunity to create his or her own animal using playdough and then tell what the animals special characteristic was and what it does. 

In writing we began talking about poetry and what it means to be a poet and to see the world through a poets eye (fresh and exciting new way).  The students also began to listen to how different poets used line breaks and created their own line breaks using a poem.  

 In Math we began talking about comparing lengths and weight and had the opportunity to compare objects around the room.

In reading we are continuing to work in small groups and learn about new reading strategies.   

Having fun playing outside.

Ms. Karen
