This week we have been studying about "China". This was brought on by a student's interest. It has been very educational. The following is an outline of study.
Monday: Map, location, Chinese Flag, population and geography!
Tuesday: Agriculture- Livestock that they raise and products they
raise. Different types of Chinese foods.
Eat noodles with chopsticks and enjoy reading our
Fortune from the cookie...
Wednesday: Language, #'s to 10 in Chinese, particular words and
phrases that the students could relate to.
example: Hello- Shee Shee
Thursday: Read a book about the Chinese Dragon Parade.
Friday: Make a Chinese Lantern!
The students have been completing a writing assignment with the information they have learned during each day. Be looking for it to come home on Friday! It is titled " My Book About China".
Thank you so much for sharing your kids with me. I have really enjoyed them this week!

Penguin Unit
We just completed a unit of study about Penguins!
The picture above is of a game that the students
played on Friday. It is called, Feed The Penguin!
They used goldfish snacks to try to hit the target,
which was the beak of the penguin. This was a
fun way to end the hard week of learning!
These are some of the kinds of penguins that we researched and studied about during the week. Did you know that there are 17 different kinds of penguins?
We also compared and contrasted Penguins and Birds....
Way to go Tanner C. for giving an awesome
explaination of this activity in class!
Tailey was the leader for today!
Playing the game..
Ella getting ready to aim!
All About Me!
as a completed project!

Depending on snow days!)
Reading: We will be working on the units about; Snowmen, Winter, Penguins and the "100th" day of school. We will be reading a variety of books. We will be comparing/contrasting, discuss plot and discuss cause & effect. Author, Illustrator, character and setting will still be discussed.We will continue practice of all letters and sounds. New sight words will be introduced and practiced, along with daily practice of all sight words. Word families will be introduced, practiced and writen using word sorts.
Writing: We will be continuing our letter handwriting practice. We will also continue writing in our journals.
Math: We will continue our counting numbers practice to 50 and writing numbers to 20. Writing numbers passed 20 will also be encouraged. Penny, nickel, dime and quarter will be reviewed. Students will begin to recognize what each coin looks like and how much each is worth. Some measurements activities will be introduced. Coins and measurement will be practiced more in later months.
Science: Physical Science Unit, Chap. 2 Changes; How things change, Melting and Freezing, Water & Air
Note to parents: Please continue to work with your child at home. The pace in the third and fourth quarter will increase. It is important that your child know their letters, sounds and current sight words. Math skills will become more difficult as the year progresses also. Review the grade card to anticipate the upcoming Reading and Math skills that will be taught for the 3rd and 4th quarters. We will begin to use the bottle glue on a daily basis but sticks will still be used for specific assignments.
Thank you for all you do to help your child learn and grow!
