We would like to invite family and friends to our Open House on Thursday, April 20th at 6:30 p.m. We have been learning about animals in 3 different habitats: desert, rainforest and ocean. The children have been busy working on many projects. We welcome the opportunity to share what we have learned with you.
Sharing - The children did an awesome job on their animal posters and dioramas. They were able to share their projects with their classmates.
Reading/Language Arts
We have finished reading a fiction and non fiction text about ants. Next week we will be reading Carnivores, by Aaron Reynolds. In this story the sharks, realize that it is lonely being at the top of the food chain. The meat-eaters are getting a bad rap because the other animals don't understand that they are not bad, they just need to eat.
Vocabulary: frenzies, misleading, carnivores, vegetarian, disguise, appetite, attitudes
Focus: answering the 5 W's, who, what, when where, why
Math
We will continue with geometry. Children will sort two-dimensional shapes according the their attributes and partition rectangles into equal-size squares and find the total number of squares.
