Thank you all for coming to our Fairy Tale Parade and cheering for us and thank you for helping the children to dress up as their favorite fairy tale or fable character. I was especially amazed at the creativity that you put in dressing up or making the children look like the characters. Way to Go! The kids had so much fun!

READING and WRITING
This week we will begin our guided research unit. We will learn how to do research to find about information that we are interested in. Researches choose a topic they are interested in and they think about what specific information they want to know about their topic. Researches look at different books or resources to find information and they record important information in an organized way. We will record things that we have learned and things that we still wonder about. We will also notice the important and main ideas vs. interesting details.

MATH
This week we will work with addition that involves single-digit addends that are beyond ten (eg: 9+4). We will learn a different strategy called Make-ten addition Strategy or Bridge to 10 Addition Strategy to solve these problems. We will work on different number combinations that total 10. We will learn that in addition, 3 numbers can be added in any order. Students will use their idea of the make-ten addition strategy which involves an addend that is close to ten (7, 8, or 9). For example when adding 9 and 4, some students may count up from 9 to get to 13. Other strategy would be to say 9+1 is ten and 10+3 is 13.

We will continue learning about force and movement and move on to Magnets. Magnets can pull or push certain objects. The push and pull caused by magnets is also a force. We will do different experiments to observe what happens when a magnet is placed near another object or predict weather a magnet will push or pull an object.
THANK YOU!
