This week we will be focusing on the sun, and the planets in our solar system. Next week we will be concluding our space unit with a project called, The Rover Landing Project. Students will create an airbag system that can safely land an egg dropped on to the floor from the second story of our building, much like NASA uses to land its robotic spacecraft on Mars. I will also be sending home a project over the long weekend for students to do more research on a planet of their choosing.
In reading this week we will be reviewing how to retell a story. Students will be working to identify the beginning, middle, and ending of a story, as well as the problem and solution. These are great talking points for at home reading. Next week is parent teacher conference week. Please sign up online for a time slot for your child. If you are not receiving class emails, please contact me.

Hello parents and caregivers,
This week our class will begin learning about the universe, and our solar system. We will be looking at books, and videos to discover more about the universe, and its wonders. We will also be sharing our learning through writing, and classroom projects. We will also be focusing on writing this week. The students will be learning about different ways to begin their writing such as brainstorming, webbing, and using graphic organizers to gather their thoughts. Please make sure you are checking the snack calendar for your child’s day to bring snack! There is a copy of the calendar on the class website under resources. Hello parents and caregivers,
This week our class will be focusing on building our classroom climate. We will be doing this through playing “getting to know you” games, sharing our Me Bags, learning the school creed, and rules, creating rules for our classroom, and many more fun activities. I am excited to be getting to know all of the wonderful students in my classroom. I also wanted to take this opportunity to let you know about our classroom website. On our website you can find the snack calendar, photos from the classroom, and my classroom blog to keep you up to date on what is happening at the school, and in our class. -Mrs. Melman |
