"And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you
because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places." ~Roald Dahl

Weekly Update 12/10/12

Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!

Communication Arts:
Story: Hottest, Coldest
Focus: Cause and Effect and Author's Purpose

Spelling: vowel + r - ir, or, er, ar

Math: 
Unit 5: Use Addition and Subtraction 
Unit 6: Patterns

We will finish Unit 5 this week and start Unit 6. 

Science:
Simple Machines
The simple machines unit is coming to an end. On Friday, I sent home a project. Look for a blue paper with two choices. Choice 1 is an around the house project that requires a bit of time, but no materials. Students must complete the table by identifying simple machines around the house. Choice 2 is a hands-on material that requires some materials. I totally encourage creativity and using materials you already have. This project is intended to be a fun family event and not stressful. Please give me a call if you have any questions.
