This week we will enjoy two special visits. Our faithful therapy dogs will come on Monday to hear us read stories. They are such good listeners! On Thursday, we will have a real live author visit our school! She writes stories about dogs. We can't wait to hear her advice on improving our own stories.
In math, we are finishing Unit 3 and will have a test on Tuesday. Unit 4 is about measurement. We will work with linear measures and review and extend our use of thermometers and clocks. We will measure in nonstandard units, such as digits and hand spans, as well as the US customary units of inches and feet. We will use tape measures to practice measuring classroom objects and ourselves. You should be practicing basic addition facts a little each night. Flashcards are a great way to practice. You can also try some of the games on my homepage.
David Shannon is our author/illustrator of the month. We are enjoying his stories and pictures. If you have any at home that you would like to share, please send them in!
Have a wonderful week!
