On Tuesday, we enjoyed a short field trip to the Weidner Center to see "The Magic School Bus: Lost in Space". It was so neat to see real-life people on the stage that we know and love from the cartoon.
In Reading, our Superkids are continuing to teach us about new letters. This week we are learning about the letter Vv. Something Very, Very bad has happened to one of our Superkids! Golly has hurt his paw, and the Vet had to take him to the pet hospital to get taken care of. But thankfully, he was able to go back home with the Superkids when his paw was all cleaned up and bandaged. Please continue to practice your child's guided reading book and star words several times a week. These words are very important to know when reading our class stories and guided reading books.
In Writing, we wrapped up our "How to" books. These books we were able to teach others how to do something that we are really good at. Some examples were, how to ride a bike, how to make a pizza, and how to make a smoothie. In this unit we are writing "All About" pieces. Each student chose an animal that they like and know some facts about. They will be writing to teach others about their favorite animals. So far we have used a word web to get down our ideas on some topics we want to make sure to touch, and have drawn a picture with labels of important parts of our animal.
