Reading
We are just starting to read Charlotte’s Web in reading class. I am working hard to incorporate the “thinking culture” into my reading class. If you hear your child talking about journaling and questioning this is coming from the new idea in the school district and our school building. We are using journals to record summaries and important/unimportant questions we may have about the story. The students are learning how to determine the importance of a question they have while they are reading.
Spelling
This week’s spelling words come from the book. I have put the list on spelling city. Thank you to the parents who tried ordering the books off of Scholastic.com. Please let me know what you thought of ordering online.
Math
We are learning how to construct line graphs. The students have already learned about bar graphs and circle graphs.
Language Arts
We are learning about poetry and how to construct graphic organizers. Science
We are working on our Motion and Design unit. Today we learned how to still make a car effective, but more cost effective.
Nebraska History We are going to be starting research projects involving PowerPoints on Native American tribes in Nebraska. I am very excited to start this adventure in my classroom. I was very pleased with the results from the Chapter Four test. Great job!
Odds and Ends
Thank you to the parents who tried ordering the books off of scholastic.com. Please let me know what you thought of ordering online. If your child is sick, please feel free to pick up the homework in the office. I am more than happy to have it ready or to send it home with a sibling.
Have a great week!
