June 21st

Hi Parents,

This week in writing we wrote about our dream summer vacation. Some of us wrote about real places we would want to go, some of us wrote about real places we already go to and some of us used our imaginations to think of places we would want to go, such as back in time to live with the dinosaurs.

In math this week we combined measurement and estimations, both of which we have been working on in the last couple weeks. We had a variety of objects around the classroom that we  irst had to estimate how long or tall it would be, then we had to measure it, with cubes, to find out if we were right. We also reviewed addition and subtraction through math centers and did some math problem solving questions.


We continued working on our literacy skills through literacy centers.


In Science we continued to learn about the different animal classes. This week we learned about amphibians, insects and fish. We also watched Wild Kratts to help us learn more about the animals in these classes.

We also continued our animal art. This week we leaned about to draw the tiger and monkey. Next week we will finish off our zoo animals by learning how to draw the camel and snow leopard.

We have really been enjoying our read aloud of "Magic Tree House: Night of the Ninjas" and will be finishing the last three chapters next week.
