We continued working on our language unit on adjectives this
morning. We learned that a, an, and the are always adjectives. Ask your
child to tell you what we call them. We also discovered that nouns can be found
in the predicate part of the sentence. We use a 3-step test to decide if a word
is an adjective. Ask your child to describe this test to you.
I then began working on reading assessments with individual
students while the rest of the class finished up their manners report and place
setting diagram.
We began working on our last line of inquiry for Who We Are
unit - How can we keep safe? For their final project on this unit, students
will be using Microsoft Publisher to create a trifold brochure that teaches
children how to stay safe over the summer holidays. We will spend time learning
to use this program next week. Students started their research today to collect
information that they will place in their brochure. There were many resources
on various topics in our class room for students to use, such as fire safety,
stranger danger, bicycle safety, etc. We watched a DVD titled Electricity
and Electrical Safety. Students took notes as they watched.
Students are bringing home the grading I have given them for
their science fair project today. Please review them with your child and return
them to school.
We had our twenty-first literature circle groups meeting today. Students had class time to read
chapter 22. It is important that The Secret Garden books and reading
duo-tangs be brought to school daily as we will be having daily group meetings
as well as time allocated in class for reading.
Look out for a letter about SJA's first Summer Fair coming
home today.
