Dear Parents,
I hope you're enjoying this beautiful
weather! Hard to believe we're so close to Spring Break. This week
we are finishing up our study of Cesar Chavez in Social Studies and starting to
review Science concepts from the beginning of the year. In STEM lab, we
did an activity where the students sorted and classified the plants and animals native to
Georgia into the Mountain, Piedmont, Coastal Plain, Swamps/Marshes, and
Atlantic Ocean regions. Remember that your child can always review on www.brainpop.com or www.studyjams.scholastic.com
So far, I've only had two students turn in the Study Jams checklist completed
for 20 extra Class Dojo points. Please encourage your student to keep
working on it!!
In ELA we have been focused on comparing and
contrasting characters in books written by the same author.
Yesterday we focused on Chrysanthemum and Owen by
Kevin Henkes. We have finished our extended text Maniac McGee
and the students are working on some writing related to Jerry Spinelli's
excellent novel.
In Math we are still learning about Time and Calendars
and now have moved into Capacity with liters, milileters, grams, kilograms,
cups, pints, quarts, and gallons. If you do any cooking or baking with
your child, please take the opportunity to reinforce these concepts.
Thanks to those of you who have returned your child's report
card! After you have taken out your child's report card, please send back
in the envelope.
Jenny M-G
