This week in Reading and Writing we wrapped up our Informational Text Units. Students shared their Informational text books with their table-mates. Each of their table-mates made a comment on their writing which was added to their books. Everyone did a nice job sharing! Check out the photos in the Smilebox. Next week we will begin a unit on Poetry.
In math we are wrapping up our unit on geometry. This week we made quilt squares and small quilts and looked at how many lines of symmetry they have. Next week we will be looking at the fractions, halves and wholes.
We have finished our Science Unit on Patterns in the Sky and on Earth. To wrap it up, we created phases of the moon with oreo cookies. Check them out in our Smilebox. We are now moving to a Social Studies Unit, Changes over Time. We will be comparing how things have changed from long ago to today. We will also have a Resident Artist visiting us Flynn Theater. She will work with the class for 4 sessions on the next 4 Wednesday's that we have school. She will work with students to do some pantomime and freezing activities related to Long Ago and Today.
Next Friday we will be going to Shelburne Farms for a Field Trip. Please pack your child a lunch on that day as we will be eating at the farm. Thanks to those of you who volunteered to chaperone our field trip on next Friday, April 8th. We'll leave school on the bus at 9:15 and return by 1:45. If you'd prefer to meet us at the farm, we'll start at the education center at the Farm Barn at 9:30.
Have a wonderful weekend,
Nancy
