Sorry I haven't had a chance to post this week. We have been very busy and time just got away from me. On Tuesday the Hoffman Estates Police Department came to school to talk to us about fire safety. I was unable to attend the assembly due to a previously scheduled meeting, but the kids filled me in on everything they learned. We made a poster of the most important facts learned.
In Math we started a new unit. We have been working on patterns and even/odd numbers. I even taught the students a neat trick to know is any number is an even or odd number. Ask your child if they can show you how smart he or she is. :)
In writing, we began a new story about what we like to do with our friends. We are currently at the rough draft stage and are getting ready for our final copy. Again, we are making sure we have a topic sentence, at least three supporting sentences and a closing sentence. We are also making sure all of our sentences stay on topic!
In reading, we are working on showing our comprehension of stories by working on a story map and making text-to-self connections. In science we have been working on the life cycle of a pumpkin/plant.
Just a reminder, next week is Parent/Teacher conferences. I will be meeting with parents on Thursday evening and Friday (No school Friday). Please make sure you are on time for your conference as we only have 15 minutes to meet. I am looking forward to talking to everyone. I am so impressed with my students and can't wait to show off some of their work.
Mrs. Blake
