What we are learning about...
Math-

I can recite all 7 days of the week. (Ask your child to sing the song to you.)
I can read a calendar.
I can use a calendar to write the date.
I can identify the hour hand.
I can identify the minute hand.
I can tell time to the hour.
I can tell time to the half hour.
I can tell time using a digital clock. (Have your child show you what they are supposed to do when I say "digital".)
I can tell time using an analog clock. (Have your child  show you what they are supposed to do when I say "analog".)

Language Arts
We are still working on pronouns. Pronouns replace a noun in a sentence. This has been a challenging concept for many. Please continue to reinforce this at home.
I can use illustrations and details in a text to describe key details.

Writing/Science
Animal Research Power Point Projects
We are finishing our informative/explanatory writing on animals. Each student chose their own animal to research. We found information from Pebble Go, and recorded it on an organizer. Requirements for the project: tell about... food, habitat, body features, and interesting facts. We also learned how to CITE information from sources in a bibliography (Have your child show you what they are supposed to do when I say "bibliography".) THIS IS BIG KID STUFF!!! I am SUPER proud of them! (They also have something cute to do when I say "plagiarize".)
