Upcoming Events:
Math:
This week we are starting a new unit about telling time to the nearest 5 minutes and organizing data. This week we will focus on clocks, both analog and digital. We will look at how clocks are organized and have games that practice telling time. Any extra work you can do at home with clocks would be great! There are some great apps for practicing telling time but also talking to your kids about it and having them practice reading time at home is all great!
Writing:
This week we will start to wrap up writing our opinions about books. We have been working hard on convincing others to read books that we love. Giving our opinions about the characters, the lesson of the story, and our favorite parts. Then strengthening our opinions with quotes from others and comparing it to other books. Lots of great opinions!
Researcher’s Workshop:
In researcher’s workshop we are working on our geography unit and finding our place in the world, we are going to study our Kaukauna community. We will look at historic pictures of Kaukauna and ask questions about how it has changed and stayed the same.
March Madness and Read Across America:
This first week of March we will celebrate Read Across America. Each classroom picked a different author and read many books written by the author. We studied Kevin Henkes. Ask your student about this author and his books. We also made a poster to share what we learned about him. Each class did this for their author. These posters will be displayed this week for classes to explore.
Additionally, each classroom has nominated a book to be entered into our March Madness Competition. The brackets are being created and we will read lots of books, voting for our favorites.
