Field Trip

We are taking a walking field trip to tour Bel Air on September 30th. Please fill out the permission slip in the Tuesday folder and return it ASAP. Parents who have been fingerprint and TB cleared are welcome to join us. This trip supports our Social Studies unit on Producers and Consumers and the Science unit on plant life-cycles.

This Week in Room 4

In Language Arts this week we are reading the story Mrs. Brown Went to Town. The comprehension skill focuses on making predictions. The spelling pattern is words with long a and i sounds spelled with silent e (cvce). In grammar we will identify words with multiple meaning such as tire or back.
In math we will continue to use the number racks to develop fluency to 20. WE will also learn double and halves, doubles plus one, even and odd numbers and practice these strategies in solving word problems.
In science we conclude our plant life-cycle unit as we observe the stages of a bean plant. Our seeds sprouted!
We start our Social Studies unit on Producers and Consumers this week with a lesson on how people grow and use food. Do you produce, process or distribute a product you want to tell us about? Guest Speakers are always welcome!
