The children were amazing in Wednesday night's Music Program! It was so fun to see everyone dressed up and proud to share their hard work in music with all of you. So glad so many of you could make it!
This week we began a new reading unit, 'Studying Characters and Their Stories.' The first part of the unit will teach how readers study characters before, during and after reading. Children will learn how to gather all the information they can about characters before they even open up a book. Once children begin reading, they'll squeeze every bit of character information they can out of the text itself, and the pictures.
We wrapped up our unit on Earth's Changes by conducting four experiments to investigate fast and slow change: earthquake, water, wind and volcano. Ask your child about it!
Other Things to Ask Your Child About:
~The Rows & Columns game
~Pinky and Rex
~Ways to 'hook' a reader
~Solving subtraction problems
~Alexander, Who Used to Be Rich Last Sunday
Have a great weekend!
