This week we're reading our nonfiction story in our Storyworks magazine, How to Save a Baby Elephant. We fell in love with baby Ishanga and her rescue story. Elephants are truly amazing animals as we read. We will be having our weekly reading test this Thursday over our elephant story, so be sure to reread the story nightly & bring your Storyworks every day. Your new, self choosen lit circle book & lit circle journal are due this Thursday for week 1. Make sure to bring your book & journal to school each day to work on & on Thursday to discuss. Friday will bring us our weekly vocab. test & our weekly packet will be do as well.
Science
We are wrapping up electromagnets this week. Finding the north & south poles of our electromagnets had our brains spinning just like our compass needles! The rest of the week will have us studying the transmission, reflection & refraction of light energy. Ask your children about their light stations, we'll have tons of fun with our hands on learning this week!
OAA - we are shining stars!!!!
Our chance to show what we know begins next week with our Reading OAA on Wednesday. Then we'll continue with our Math & Science OAA's. Keep an eye out for a letter home about testing this week from Mr. Bailey. Make sure your child starts gathering their trusty number 2 pencils, pink erasers, water bottles to hydrate our brains, healthy snacks, comfy clothes, and a good silent reading book!
