I hope everyone had a fantastic long weekend. We are working hard this week.
- We are measuring length in math and will start soon on time.
- We are reading lots of different kinds of books and writing friendly, persuasive letters in reading.
- We are experimenting with plants in science.
- We will be learning about Teddy Roosevelt this week and next week in social studies.
In science, we put red and purple food coloring in water. We put celery stalks in and observed the stem carry that water into the leaves. We have also planted carrots, beets, and radishes in a container with a clear bottom - so we can observe the roots grow too! We will be planting seeds in our own personal pots tomorrow. These pots, if anything actually grows, will come home with the students in the spring.
Please remind your child to do his or her best on everything we do. Also, please listen to your child read every day if you can. It is so important.
Here is our newsletter for the week:
