Language Arts: this week we are focusing on detailed sentences and reading Farmer's Market. The genre is Realistic Fiction which is a made-up story that could happen in real life. We are working on identifying the plot of the story, which includes the beginning, middle, and end, and often includes a problem and the solution. We will also be reviewing Setting.
We have officially started Literacy Workstations. The children are still getting the hang of it but they are very enthusiastic, flexible, and independent! Making Words at the Smartboard is extremely popular! Please try to walk your child through the Log in process on Pearson; if the kids are quick to log in, they have more time to explore the different activities online :)
Social Studies: we will work on historical figures such as Ben Franklin
Science: different forms of energy, light, heat, and sound
PYP: we have begun our new planner entitled How We Express Ourselves.
Science: "Mmmm! It smells sweet!"
