Week 4



~Learning and Growing Together ~
We had a really busy week in our class.  We did a great science experiment with thermometers and different colored envelopes to determine how color affects temperature.  The class is independently working their way through the scientific method.  They are also learning how to draw technical drawings to demonstrate their science experiments.  I am so proud of them.  Also, we have continued testing in the computer lab gathering information on each student to determine areas of strength and weakness.  The purpose of gathering this information is to best meet the needs of each individual student in our class.
          Next week we will continue learning about energy in science.  We will also continue our study of stories that are passed down and stories that are worth telling again and again.  We will be discussing money and continue our work on facts in math.
         ~Next Week~
         Please encourage your child to study their spelling words each week and to continue to read at home and work on their facts.
 I am seeing big improvements in their math facts at school.  Thank you for helping your child succeed!

Tip of the Week:
Find ways to read, write, and tell stories together with your child. Always applaud your young reader and beginning story writer!
