Good Morning,
I hope you all have had a great week. The class has been busy writing more and more non fiction stories. This week we focused on table of contents, writing chapters with explicit details, and thinking about whether a chapter will be written to inform or instruct (a list or a how to).
In social studies, we finished up our discussion about how people are similar and different and then looked at scenarios that would apply rules to only certain people (i.e. kids with sneakers and without, or dark hair and light hair). We started reading about Dr. Martin Luther King as well.
Notes:
*Your child has reading homework over the weekend. Please make sure to have them do it.
*A new Weekly News entry is also in your child's homework bag.
*Please continue to send in paper towel rolls.
*Valentines: We will have a small little valentine party on Friday, February 12th. I will send home a list of names today (in your child's homework bag). If you would like to make something for the party, please let me know.
I hope you have a great week.
Peace,
Mr. Young
