March 24th-28th

Dear Families of Room 11,
Welcome back!  I hope everyone had a relaxing and enjoyable spring break! Listed below are the important reminders and objectives for our week.  Please let me know if you have any questions.  Thanks!

Important Reminders:

• The monthly Leader in Me Assembly is this Friday at 9:00 a.m.  Our class is performing the Seven Habits Cup Song hand motions.  Make sure your child is practicing at home!  

Weekly Objectives:

Writing:  During writer's workshop this week we are going to begin a new unit on Poetry.  Students are going to begin looking at the world through "poets' eyes"!  Throughout the week students may bring in items from outside, around the house, etc. that they have viewed differently since using their poets' eyes.

Reading: During reader's workshop we are going to continue talking about the three levels that good readers use to question a text.  The third level that will be introduced this week is "Thinking About a Text".  Students will think about the purpose of the author's writing.

Science:  We are going to continue studying earth's materials.  This week we will talk about the many natural resources that the Earth has and those that are replaceable vs. irreplaceable.

Math:  This week in math we are going to begin Chapter 16, Interpreting Tables and Graphs.  We are going to focus on using graphs to help us solve problems.

Have a great week!
