Social Studies : This Six Weeks we are learning about communities and neighborhoods. We are also introducing laws and voting.
Science: This six weeks we will learn how animals grow and change. We will also learn about habitats for plants and animals and changes in habitats. Please study vocabulary words with you child. We have also been doing experiments in the science lab once a week. Please ask your child to tell you about those.
Reading/Language Arts: We have spent a lot of time this six weeks gathering data on our students to form appropriate Reading groups. Students will be placed in Reading groups according to their Reading level, fluency, accuracy, and comprehension. New Reading classes will begin the first week of the 2nd 6 weeks. Please attend our Parent Coffee to learn more about this exciting way of teaching. Our balanced literacy program is designed to immerse children in reading and writing. Students will practice phonics skills and reading strategies through individualized and group instruction. We are excited to watch our students progress this year!
