This week we started our new unit on Motion and Relative Position. We explored position words and practiced writing them by making a Wordle. You can explore the website here. Our Wordles will be displayed outside our classroom. Next week we will be learning about pushes and pulls. I may be asking your child to bring some toy cars from home this week if he/she has some.
I came across a roller coaster website and the kids were so excited that I posted the link so that they could explore it at home. Here is the link again: http://dep.disney.go.com/sodi_app/index.html?st=2
In math we have completed the unit on Patterning! This was a quick and easy unit for the students. My math group has started the unit on Data Analysis and Mrs. Gilroy-Beck's math group is working on Measurement.
In Language Arts we have been busy studying "tion" words. Our list is almost at 50 words! Keep them coming! This week we learned all about making inferences when reading. An inference is a kind of guess. When we read a story it does not tell every detail about every subject so good readers need to think about the information and make inferences using the facts that are given. We will continue to work on inferring for the month of March.
March is also Nutrition Month. We will be discussing healthy food choices in the classroom and I will even be sending some homework home!
Some upcoming dates:
March 8th and 9th - No School for students
March 16th - Report Cards
March 23th - 3 Way Conferences
