Hello parents, and caregivers,
This week the students are learning to write persuasive letters. They are currently trying to write me a letter persuading me to give them a pajama day! They are trying to think about their audience when writing, and have reasoning behind their ideas. We are wrapping up our unit on area and geometry. Students are working on being able to find the area of a shape and write equations to show how they got their answer. We are continuing to practice for our play. If your child has a speaking part, please be sure that they are practicing at home! They will need to have their part/parts memorized. I am looking for volunteers to help on Wednesday afternoons from 1:10-1:45. We need parents to assist students in running their lines. The students have been learning all about plants, and plant life cycles this week through books, videos and flower and seed dissections. -Mrs. Melman

Hello parents, and caregivers,
This week we are finishing up our autobiographies. The students have been writing about their memories from different years in there life, and are working to sequence them in chronological order. In math the students are learning to create, and sort different types of triangles and quadrilaterals. They are also learning how to find the area of an object. We are also learning about plants, life-cycles and growth this week. We went on a field trip to the Myriad Gardens today to observe growth and life in the gardens. In the classroom we are reading books and watching videos to learn more about plants. We have begun to work on our play. Not all students have an on stage ‘job’. Many students will be working on the set, props, make up and costuming. Clusters will continue this Friday. Don’t forget to ask your student what is happening in their cluster! -Mrs. Melman |
