What we’re      

Workin’ on thisweek..

Language Arts

We will be practicing our reading and writing skills through fun daily five stations that will be tied to what we is being studied in Science  (penguins). We will also be learning how to do research on pebblego.com! Be sure to ask your child what they are researching and what they have learned!  

Math

We will be continuing our unit on shapes! We will be focusing on 3D shapes and how parts of the shapes are made from 2D shapes! Don't forget about our important vocabulary such as vertices, edges and faces to help identify each shape!  After we learn about all of the shapes there will be an e.mail this week for a fun flipped video lesson that your kids participate in at home!  Thanks! 

Science / Social Studies 

In Science we will begin our fun unit on Penguins.  We will learn how to research facts about the different types of penguins.  Please remember to complete the flipped classroom video on Penguins       by Monday.  You will need to help your child log into www.pebblego.com and click on animals, click on penguins, and then look at the four different types of penguins listed.

In Social Studies we are going to be studying Presidents.  We will learn many interesting facts about our past and present leaders and how they impacted our Country.  We will creating thinking maps in our Social Studies Journal.
