Hello Room 4 Families!
Here is what is happening in Room 4:
Friday, February 22-Friday, March 1: parent/teacher conferences; shortened days. Students will be dismissed from the cafeteria at 12:20.
Friday, March 8: (tentative) State Capitol field trip. I am still waiting on the transportation department to make sure we have buses.
Friday, March 8: Science Night, 6-8 pm
Language Arts:
This week we will begin a unit titled, "Red, White, and Blue". The kids will be learning about patriotism and our national symbols.
We will continue to work on blending sounds to make words both orally and on the board. The kids are doing a super job with this, and they are very proud of themselves for learning how to blend words like they will in first grade.
We will review and focus on the sounds of /d/, /n/, and short o.
Our writing this week will be a narrative in response to "The Cat in the Hat" (Dr. Suess's birthday is Saturday, March 2, so we will be celebrating this week).
Math
This week we will finish our unit on numbers to 30 and begin a unit on time. We will work on estimating during the beginning of the week, then take the chapter tests, and move on to times of the day and the days of the week.
Social Studies
We are going back to social studies this week after spending a long time talking about animals in science. Our new social studies chapter is "Our Country", which ties in very well with our language arts theme. The kids will be learning about our country's symbols, how people use them, and how symbols remind us of America's greatness and our national heritage.
Thank you to everyone who helped out in the room this week, especially on Friday when I asked for help at the last minute!
Have a great weekend, and please email me if you have any questions or concerns.
