April 23rd

This morning after we wrote in and shared our journals, we reviewed words with oo.  Then, we did a Making Words activity.  After, we introduced this week's vocabulary words (the word "feature" is difficult!) and began talking about different reference materials.  We discussed the function of a dictionary, encyclopedia and an atlas.  We learned that an atlas is a book of maps.  This week, we will read about atlases.  Grades will be entered in both Reading and Social Studies.  We will finish reading the atlas tomorrow.  Then, we completed our DLP and went to art class.  This afternoon, we read more of Poppy Pendle.  Then we went to music and gym class.  In math, we learned how to measure with a number line.  Students needed to use their subtraction skills to help measure!  Most students do have homework. We will have a math test on measurement later this week.

There will be a Science test on Water Habitats on Thursday.  A sheet with pages to review was sent home with your child today along with his/her Science book.
