Dear Parents and/or Guardians,
As we begin the month of February, here are a few updates that are happening in our classroom!
Curriculum Corner:
Math
We will continue to work on our data management unit. The unit vocabulary sheets are in the student’s math binder. Students are encouraged to take the binder home and review the vocabulary throughout the unit. After this unit, we will start our operations unit where students will learn to do addition, subtraction, multiplication and division with bigger numbers.
Language
In Writing, we will continue our poetry unit and start a unit on letter writing. In Reading we will continue learning to make inferences. We are looking for clues in the pictures and text of the books we read to make conclusions about what will happen next in the story, what the characters may be feeling and the message the author is trying to send to the reader. Students will also learn to ask good questions to help their comprehension of texts.
Science
In Science, we will finish our unit on structures and start a new unit on the soil.
Health
In Health, we will be learning about healthy eating and oral hygiene.
