Here's the Scoop- 10/15/12
Dear Parents/Families,
Wow! Time sure does fly and I apologize for this letter being so late. First of all I wanted to thank you for your understanding with my website- this is my first year with my website and I do apologize for not keeping it as up to date as I wish especially with the spelling. My goal is to update the spelling list each week on Friday and to start putting the date with the words.
Reading: We have been working on our theme of “Heroes” and looking at character traits. We have currently been reading some Greek Mythology and looking at how they relate to the constellations. It is interesting to see how the Greek’s have a completely different way of classifying a hero than people of modern day society.
Our next theme will be “Journey’s” and we will be focusing on Maryland and Social Studies.
Math: We have started our next unit which will cover: place value, addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, reading line graphs and converting units of measurement (ex. Feet in a yard, etc.) We are working on addition and subtraction this week and will move into multiplication and division.
Writing: We have been working on personal narratives or “small moments.” We have been narrowing down our “watermelon stories” into “seed stories.” They are also working on going back to a piece of writing and adding more details.
Social Studies: We will be starting Social Studies concepts on Oct. 22nd. We will start by looking and learning about the C&O Canal.
Science: We are finishing up our unit and will be taking their assessment on Thursday, October 18th. I originally had it planned to take it on the 17th but due to being on jury duty have postponed it to the 18th. A study guide is coming home today- please study!!
Upcoming events to be on the lookout for:
** October 25th: C & O Canal Trip (decided to go this fall so we are not doing two big field trips in the spring) ** permission slips are due on Thursday the 18th.
** November 16th: Art Museum Trip (permission slip will be coming out soon- will need chaperones)
** As always if you have any questions please feel free to call or e-mail me.
Thank you,
Mrs. Jamison J
