The sun is shining and it is absolutely beautiful outside today. It is supposed to be warmer this weekend so there may be some nice snow to build snow people, forts etc. with.. We have been working of procedural writing. Please talk to your children about what step he/she needs to do next if participating in outdoor building activities.
Next week we are going to be blowing bubbles with bubble gum and eating Oreo cookies as part of our writing unit. The students will be asked to write each step that they took in order to complete the task.
At home please show your child samples of procedural writing such as in recipe books, instructions for small appliances etc.
In math we have been measuring using non-standard units such as toothpicks and cubes. We have been using math vocabulary longer, shorter, longest, tallest etc. to describe our math thinking. At home, please encourage your child to estimate and compare lengths of items found in the home.
Have a wonderful weekend!
