Reading Workshop In November, we are diving into our Nonfiction Reading unit. The students are learning how to identify informational texts, its features as well as practicing the different options of recording and interpreting information. We will celebrate the end of this unit by creating an "Ocean" museum wing featuring our projects and research gathered and interpreted by the children. Social Studies Our government and community study finds us learning about elections. The students have campaigned for three types of cookies: Oreo, Chocolate Chip, and Nilla Wafer cookies. The process consisted of research of their candidate, flyers, posters, buttons and speeches. May the best cookie win! Science
Students are discovering different forms of energy and how energy can change. Through our most recent experiment students investigated how light and matter interact through reflection, refraction, and absorption. While studying this unit students will be exposed to new vocabulary such as, electrical energy, sound energy, potential and kinetic energy, open and closed circuit, pitch and wave. Help your child make these words a part of his or her vocabulary when you talk together about energy at its forms.
