Please don’t forget to send the permission slip to see the production, “Pippi Longstocking” at the Elsinore Theater, on April 21, back with your child. The cost is $4.
On the Forest Ridge Website (http://forestridge.salkeiz.k12.or.us), open “Classrooms”, and then “Mrs. Ryan”, to get my latest blog.
Our goal this year at Forest Ridge is to improve students’ writing. During the week, I’d like to encourage you and your child to write together. The topic this week is to write a myth. A myth explains how something in nature came to be. Examples might be: “How the Giraffe Got Its Long Neck”, “Why There Are Earthquakes”, etc. Gods or supernatural powers may play a role in the myth. Enjoy writing the story together. Be sure to include a beginning, middle, and ending. It is due by Friday.
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 it in by Friday.
This month in math, we are reviewing counting money. In addition to that, we are figuring out how much more money is needed to reach a certain amount. Example: Count coins to $2.18. Then figure how much more money is needed to get to $3.25. We are also working on a linear measurement unit.
In social studies we’ll begin our study of Salem history.
Reading logs are due on Thursday.
