READING
We will be starting Theme 4 next week, titled "Circling the Sun". We will be learning how to determine importance while we read. As you read with your child at home next week, try to help them find important details in the text!
WRITING
We have began to focus on Nonfiction texts. If you're reading with your child at home, try to point out text features together, such as captions, table of contents, index, glossary, diagrams, headings, bold print, etc. We have started writing a piece together on the Moon, and will begin publishing them on Monday! After that is finished, they will be creating their own nonfiction reports on a planet of their choice.
SCIENCE
We are jumping into learning all about our Solar System next week! (*Mrs. Knapp's favorite science unit to teach!*) I learn something new each time studying the Solar System with my class, too! We will be starting out our focus on the moon and it's relationship to the Sun and Earth, then diving into the vastness of the rest of our Solar System. Under the "Resources" tab of our website, take a look at the planet/space resources under "Science" and explore them with your child!
