Few quick notes:
1)Red t-shirts went home on Friday with a yellow paw print. These t-shirts were purchased for your child from the parent group. T-shirts were made to be worn every Wednesday to show that we know and can be an active member of "The Marion Way." We want students to take pride in and remember to be responsible, respectful, show safety and integrity. These t-shirts are for your child to use both years at FMI. Please help your child care and be responsible for their shirt for the two years they are in our building.
2)I will be gone again on Friday for another PBIS (Positive Behavior and Intervention Support) team. I am a coach for our building, which means I am creating and supporting the development of our "Marion Way."
3)Mark your calendars- October 2nd is picture day. Envelopes went home on Friday also.
Here is a description of our week:
Math- Last week we worked on rounding to
the nearest ten and hundred. We also added and subtracted two-
digit numbers. This week we will continue adding two and three digit numbers as well as estimating numbers to add.
Reading-
Our
story this week was Meet an Underwater Explorer by Luise Woelflein. This
story is about an underwater explorer named Sylvia Earle who shares her story
of what life is like as a marine biologist. She is having set diving records,
tested new equipment, and headed an all-woman science team that lived on the
ocean floor for two weeks. With this
story we looked at what it would life underwater would be like. We also took a
deeper
look into the story to find main ideas and supporting
details in the text. Looking at which pieces of information the story was
mostly about and supporting that one idea with other information from this
nonfiction text did this.
Writing- This week we discussed how sentences are put together with a subject (who or what) and a predicate (what the subject is or does). Here are some examples:
While I was away the students worked on a "Mrs. Yuska is missing" poster and story. What I have read so far has been VERY cute! I can't wait until they are finished.
Science-The plants are growing rapidly. This week there were a lot of changes. We started the week noticing buds develop. We ended the week with flowers on most of our plants.
On Friday we took the chance to look at a dried bee. We identified some of the parts of the bee and glued them on to a tooth pick to aid us in pollination this week. I took pictures on Wednesday, hoping to send out the blog on Thursday. I will take more pictures during this week so you can see more details of our plants.
