Teacher Workshop Day!

In reading groups we have focused on

consonant blends and our vocabulary
words are young, examines, normal,
rescued, mammal and hunger. The
stories we read were about animals.
In writing, we have been concentrating
on writing full sentences. All sentences
must start with a capital letter, end with
the proper punctuation and be a full
thought. We are also learning how to
rephrase the question to form our
answer.

Science & Social Studies

We continue to study magnets. This week we
made temporary magnets and explored the
poles. We also did 5 different activities in one
day. We tried magnets underwater, explored
forces, picked up paper clips and found out
what happened when you hang magnets on
strings. Everything we do in this unit is so
exciting!
