Week 3

Well we have made it through 3 weeks of school I think both your children and you deserve a big pat on the back. This week we worked on science, the children learned the scientific process of an experiment. They were also exposed to various tools that they will be using thoughout the year. Keep the scientific investigation alive at home as well by engaging your children in observations of their surroundings. In writing we worked on the concept of ideas and forming details for our ideas before writing. Our writing topic for the week was to write about a place that we either had visited or a place that we would like to visit. Your children worked hard coming up with great descriptive details about the places they had been. Student work will be posted soon. Finally we had our Seahawk Writes which is a writing test that is given school wide. Next week students will be reading about Firefighters and why thier jobs are important, so if anyone is a firefighter and would likle to write in aboiut what they do or would like to come in for a visit please contact me. In science this week we will be dicussing the different forms of matter. Start talking to your children about solids, liquids and gases. Finially in writing our topic next week will be to write about our favorite animals so if you would like to start researching those animals at home that would be a great start to the writing assignment. Well parents til next week.
