We’ll be making worm towers this Friday. Each child needs two 2-liter bottles with the caps. If you have some at home, would you please send them to school? Thank you!
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. I can really tell the great improvement in students’ writing with the students whose parents have helped their child with this assignment this year. It’s not too late to start!! The topic this week is an imaginative story (make-believe, where something unbelievable happens like talking animals or magic). Topic: “The Day My Shoe Talked to Me”. Be sure to include a beginning, middle, and ending.
Writing together encourages your child to see you having fun with writing, and allows you an opportunity to spend time with your child while he/she learns. Please have your child bring the writing in by Friday.
In math students are learning when they need to use multiplication or division to solve simple story problems. (3x5, 24 divided by 3).
In health students are learning about making good choices t o help their hearts stay healthy.
Students are working on imaginative stories and an expository story about space in writing and science.
Spelling homework will be sent home later this week, as well as a “Words to Learn” list. These words will be recycled throughout the year. They’ll probably even show up on another word check that I give later. Almost everyday we work for about 15 minutes on learning spelling patterns, so your child will become a lifetime speller. We don’t just memorize words!
Take home folders (with reading logs attached) need to be turned in on Thursday.
