Week Number 4 of the 2014/2015 School Year

In math this week we'll be talking about place value. We'll be focusing on ones, tens, and hundreds and ways to represent them. For practice at home you can have your child play Place Value Hockey.

Our focus in science this week will be weather. We'll look at common storms and other weather phenomena. We will talk about the importance of measuring, recording, and interpreting weather data. We will also begin recording daily weather data as part of our morning meeting.

This week we'll continue PALS and learning our routines and rituals in language arts. We'll talk about response journals & reading logs and then get into discussions about the differences between fiction and non-fiction, ending the week with talks about characters and settings in fiction.

As always I'm looking forward to another great week. Keep checking on your child's behavior via ClassDojo. In closing here's a picture of the Green Learners learning about ordinal numbers.
