Dear Families,
This week in science/social studies we learned about Rockhopper penguins. The kids did a great job researching interesting facts about them. We generated a class list and compared it to our class list of Emperor penguin facts. Then, the kids filled in Venn Diagrams to compare the two on their own.
We also made adorable penguin covers to contain all of our work. They could choose a template or design their own.
My math group learned about area, volume and measurement this week. We are in the middle of creating our own "special day" maps. When the maps are complete, we will measure, in inches, the distance between all of the stops during our special days.
My literacy group began learning about plurals this week. So far we have covered changing the "y" to an "i" and adding an "es" as well as how to determine whether a word needs an "s" or an "es."
Our science experiment is well underway. Some of our wheat seeds have sprouted in some of the straws, but not all.
Reminders:
Next Monday is our Purim carnival. Please send your child to school in a costume.
Also, no school on Friday due to parent/teacher conferences. Please sign up!
Shabbat Shalom,
Hamorah Caren
