Happy October! Today was a busy day...
In Primary A Language Arts, we took our weekly spelling test, introduced a new component of our Daily 5, and read another chapter of the classic novel Moby Dick! In Science, we discussed and modeled the Moon Phases. Review with your student the four main phases and how long it takes the Moon to orbit the Earth. During Writer's Workshop we continued to work on our picture books. Each student should have at least 1 completed book on Thursday to share with the class.
Homework: Read for at least 15 minutes tonight. Record your reading on your Reading Log in your Homework Folder.
Primary B Science:
You recieved an Informational Packet explaining your Planet Report Project. Please read through the entire packet. Please ask me if you have any questions about anything. We will discuss report and presentation expectations in more detail in the next couple class periods.
This week, you need to be working on your Planet Fact Sheets. This is due on Monday, October 10th. Use the books that you were given and the Internet if possible. Please return the books on October 10th as well. Here are some websites you might want to explore:
