Of course, we have another busy week ahead of us as we launch into January:
- On Monday, we will begin our school wide READ-athon. This exciting event is a great way to inspire children to read more as it helps our school to raise funds for the wonderful enrichments we enjoy. Even if you are not fund raising, the children enjoy participating in this community event. Please remind your child to record his or her reading times daily in the next three weeks. Reading sheets should be kept in the homework folder.
- We have been connecting our writing work with our content studies. This week, we'll focus on learning about and teaching others how homes reflect our cultures and environment. In the past weeks, children have been writing about clothing, holidays, and food as a reflection of our culture.
- After taking a break to prioritize our Social Studies work, we are coming back to our science unit, Balancing Forces. Next week, we'll focus on non touching forces which includes, magnetism and gravity. We have also practiced writing connections by taking our information writing skills to write a scientific explanation.
- Please keep an eye out for the two trips slips that are coming home on Monday. We will visit Chen Dance Center on January 28th. This organization puts on a wonderful show to help launch our Social Studies unit on China. We will also visit Brooklyn Museum on February 7th to look at artifacts from China. This trips will support the learning we will be doing in the February and March.
- Here are some math links to support our continued practice of multiplication and division:
