November 2016 Newsletter

Tuesday November 1, 2016

Dear Parents and/or Guardians,

 October passed by so quickly! Thank you so much for your ongoing support. We have had another successful month! As we begin the month of November, here are few updates in our class.

Curriculum Corner:

 Math
In Math, we’ve finished up our unit on Number Sense and we will soon be beginning our Patterning unit. Please refer to the attached math newsletter.


 Science

We continue to learn how to describe different structures and what makes a stable and strong structure through experiments and readings.
We will start our unit about the forces we come across on a daily basis (muscular, magnetic, natural, etc.) and their effects, as well as how forces cause movement and changes in movement.

 Language

In Literacy, we will be finishing sentences writing and beginning our unit on paragraph writing, focusing on organization, structure and purpose for writing. We will be working hard to apply everything we have learned about parts of speech and good sentences into our paragraphs. In reading, we are getting into our guided reading groups and will be bringing guided reading books home to practice. We are focused on making connections and well supported predictions by using evidence from the text and our prior knowledge.

 Health

In Health, we continue to learn about different emotions and strategies to deal with situations and relationships that involve these emotions.

 Visual Arts

In Visual Arts, we continue to make arts with different lines and patterns using a variety of materials, using various elements and principles of arts.
