On Monday afternoon we have our field trip to the Alberta Bair from 11:45-2:00. We get to see the play School House Rock! It should be a ton of fun!
In reading this week we will read chapters 3 & 4 of our selection Science All Around and we will focus on the skills of cause and effect, summarizing, and analyzing idioms. We will also continue our research into how science helps us have fun.
In writing and grammar we are reviewing simple and complete subjects and predicates, learning about singular and plural nouns, and introducing articles and common and proper nouns. We will also be finishing up our Drippy stories this week. The ones I have read so far are so fun! Remember your decorated Drippy is due on Tuesday, October 21st.
In math this week we are actually taking a pause on multiplication and we are introducing area. Area is the space inside a closed figure. We will start finding area by counting unit squares, and then we will move to using the area formula and using multiplication to help us.
In science we are continuing our study of Earth's Water by looking at where sources of fresh water are found. In social studies we will begin learning about geography, specifically physical geography, climate, and natural resources.
Homework: Drippy is due on Tuesday! Reading Log and multiplication practice due Friday.
